Seductress

 

Passer-by with uncanny eye
You see me seated alone, unwary
Scent of roses, a wild cherry
 
Slender, slim; indulge your whim
An exquisite body your flames ignite:
Temptation for your appetite.
 
Eyes, pale blue, calling to you.
Revealing clothes, skin nearly bare
And long, flowing, lustrous hair
 
Curvaceous shape, your eyes agape
Ivory teeth form an innocent smile
Caught in my snare, build up your guile
 
Simple banter spilled by enchanter
Words to entrance scented with honey
Who can suspect an expression so sunny?
 
Your body aching, a chance taken
Lean in close for a careful kiss
Muscles stiffen upon hearing a hiss
 
Your blood runs cold at what you behold
Eyes aghast to find a snake
You draw back a little too late
 
Venom released, your heart rate increased,
Two tidy holes made in your skin,
A blur, confusion, your world topples and spins.
 
Your body beside me; I feel no pride
I slide away before you have awoken
With dreams shattered, heart broken

 

Just a poor boy, just another toy

Another man has come to play

Another man has fallen prey
