Allurer's Embrace

Enchanting eyes.
So brown like autumn leaves.
Mesmerizing smile.
Fairer than snowflakes.

Beguiled by my delusion of what you are.
Painted the picture so perfect.
One's gaze has to be through my eyes.

Portrait so perfect.
I tucked its sharp ends away.
They prick me.
And each cut pierces my soul
With your baneful caress
You make it all better

I submerse deeper each day
To your treachery

Your covetousness, feign so patent they cram me

But again, you plant qualm
And I end up dubious of my sanity
Shifting blame to my imagination

Only one to make me laugh
Without uttering a word
You know just the buttons

Peculiar acrimony
So calamitous yet so inimitable

You are a part of me
I am part of you

Imprisoned by words
Actions dancing to a different tune
Trapped in fiction

Enforced to overlook
Your ills, I am weary
But again, with your crooked claws
You pull me nigh
Maul away all my trepidation
And I, gently reach out for your embrace.
