Listen Closely, My Son

So much to solicit, but with substance excluded, she mimics intimacy, but leaves one secluded. Flatteries slip off her tongue like honey's sultry sweetness. "Come to this incensed bed for pleasure's soft caress." Like a crafty serpent's spiel, her lips slither stellar speech. Secure your spirit, flesh, and soul; she'll sample some of each. With silken negligees, she'll sustain a slave's stronghold, stealing one's strength like the lust for shiny gold. One's best possession is sequestered, that of self, a sword within, squandered to a showy stranger, a satanic mannequin. Leaving spouse and offspring grieving, an egregious price to pay, some have spurned their own cisterns to search for soggy clay. Listen closely, my son, with stern discretion be wise. For she will lead you in similitude as Eden's sad demise. 12-8-2020 References: Proverbs 5 & Proverbs 7 "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18
