Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Pernicious Glimpse

Full of marketable commodities like xebec.
Waves of pure affection are slashed mercilessly. 
Feelings: a sea upon which to wander carefree.
Devil swears to be a dove to trick people cursorily.

The doll dances on a string of yellow-golden hair. 
It dyes its lips crimson with the blood of its lost prey. 
It attracts people with its flirtatious smile and low blare. 
Because of her, falls even the most religious people.

The ashes of destroyed rags cover the black eyes. 
A sparkling smile covers Beelzebub's smile. 
Her mistress is responsible for her spiritual slave. 
A dark soul lurked deep within his radiant skin style.

Silicon's enticingly boosted slopes were xyloid-brittle. 
Sword-like claws dig into the soul in sensual delight. 
Obsession can be generated by female objects. 
She does terrible things to helpless people fight.

The floral fantasies all turn xerophilous and prickly.
Salacious downpours became unending floods of sobs. 
A terrible memory of a lost love left him feeling empty. 
The reverberation of her laughing still throbs.

Bill Baker September 18, 2022 at 10:22 AM Agonizing to experience the lure of such deceptions, enthrall one's self in the illusion of the tempter than be cast away without pause ... and laughted at for being so vulnerable in one's desires. A passionate poem, with depth and exquisite imagery. A FAV my friend. Thanks for sharing, Bill Sotto Poet September 18, 2022 at 2:47 PM Thank you so much, Bill. I'm glad you like it and appreciate the fav. Have a great evening

Victor Buhagiar September 16, 2022 at 2:42 AM Magnificent poem on lost love. Thinking that Satan is weak is very, very wrong. Love needs to be strong.

Valsa George September 15, 2022 at 9:59 PM Bewitching and voloptuous, female charm can entice and can do terrible things 'digging into the soul in sensual delight'. Once it is lost, its prey is left feeling so empty ! Wonderful poetry rising to higher levels. All the Best dear friend in the contest...
