Love and Lust

I did not mean to snatch your heart Like with the claw of a vorocious bird of pray You fell into my unset trap Speared yourself upon my harpoon Which had only been hanging on the wall You threw yourself into my way stole my arrows and brandishing them with cupids blood Punctured your heart without a thought Other than the whisper of my name You claim that I'm a siren I've led you to your death But it was the birds i sang to Your name did not leave my unforgiving lips With swollen eyes from crying Filled with swirling colors of obsession You beg to me and plead with me Blaming me and cursing me Claiming that i drug you here Forgetting it was you who snuck in through my balcony To watch me in the fountains And listen to my voice To see how the animals follow me And witness how the moon becomes my robes And the stars become my eyes How the setting sun remains all night Within the silk of my hair how roses color my cheeks In the darkness of the cold And the world surrounds me And the beauty of the light i behold Where in this story did i bewitch you Where did i make you call my name Did i once respond or invite you to play a game you claim i did this to you When you only did it to yourself did you enjoy your gaze upon the child of Cerynian Did you think I'd become your obediant wife When did i claim i loved you How quickly you think of these blasphemous lies Your not in love you simpleminded mortal Your infatuated and in lust and your lust is a lie

Well, thats a quick kick to the crotch - every woman seeks adoration, the problem seems to be that ethier attract too much, or the wrong bunch - I like how this powerful female persona while clarifying her strengths and beauties simultaneously describes herself as a victim of attraction - there is a Goddess quality to this composition Jay and I like it - the perfect amount of detail - one truly gets a taste of the misery of being so beautiful and yet so untouchable - this is a FAV. - J.A.B. %

Now, dont get me wrong, it goes both ways, Men - the right men, the true ones who act that way chilvery and all, they should be treated as, perhaps not Gods, but kings. Or more so the Consorts to The Goddesses, that way none mistake the type of God I refer to.

I couldnt have said it better myself. I love how you notice the Goddess aspect...I Feel like every woman treat themselves like a Goddess (Just not the snoody stuck up kind) They should all feel that way, and be treated as such...I Feel there is a Goddess inside everywoman..and now in days, many men, and other women, take woman for granted.

Love and lust can be a potent combination if joined in equal parts. I just Love the way you write, it evokes such powerful images.

Indeed they can, but what happens when either or is not asked for by both parties, and only tried to force by one? Not good news...She put him straight this time, thought that doesnt always happen in life...Im so glad you love the way I write that makes it even better for me (:
