An Ode To the Necessity of Seduction

An Ode to the Necessity of Seduction


She had been primping, preparing,
for these moments of beguilement.
Groomed, long before she began to
blossom, reach her time of coming out.
Always possessing the accoutrements
of beauty yet unable to truly fulfill them,
growing into the subtleties, the nuances,
of her awakening without understanding.

So it was she changed from tantalizer,
to temptress, to seductress.  Drew to
her that which she desired, took what
she craved to satisfy her needs, to
further the continuation of her beauty,
to intermingle her unique scent
into the legends of seductions lore.

Drawn to her as if in trance-like dance
they came.  Each seeking her approval,
her acceptance, the opening of her
ever ripening petals, her willingness
to continue her seduction.

She would, in time, reach fullness,
and succumb, willingly embracing
the gentle touch, the erotic intrusion,
the fulfillment of her season.  She
would be no less beautiful only more
complete, knowing that the lovers drawn
to her iridescent  center had been seduced
so that seduction’s beauty might endure.

oh my gosh, I have a poem that is this exact same theme. You amaze me sometimes because I can see your thinking is in synch with mine on certain things. I wonder if he is asking for new poems only. I sure would love to use that one of mine that is on this topic (but it is quite differently written than this one). I really like your entry!
