Sedated Sin

I feel her wake, and I quake Afraid...I'll make the same mistake For goodness sake My hands.... how they shake I hear her low moan, and I groan She'll rise from where she's been thrown I'm not alone...never alone I can't atone for deeds she has sown She is so real...her power...I feel As I reel she makes me kneel No, mercy...she won't cut a deal My breath of life...she'll steal Sedated.... I try to keep her sedated Her desires bated Her wanton whims weighted The prey she wants....crated I need her to be.... dated But...it is always the same fight in the night Her insatiable delight burns through her superwoman might It’s not right...it's not right!! I'm lost in this plight And so....I give in I let her win She’s my weakness, my sin She unbares my skin Laughs above the din My right and wrong in a spin I smile... I smile...HER sultry grin Tonight, she would not be sedated And her prey, she neatly bated Her desire, swiftly sated His heart, with her blood nails, grated It was fated Fated So....complicated She has the control Of my body and soul… Destruction, her goal Buried...in this black hole She keeps me.... Sedated Eileen Manassian Ghali This is a poem about a woman struggling to keep her inner longings at bay....It uses personification....the SHE....is a symbol of the sin that struggles in the woman for mastery. It is not a poem about a man and woman though when SIN has its way....men are the casualty.
