Seductress

I was fine in my bubble
just some Moses in my own parting
and yes, you ruined my thoughts
and spun me in antonyms 

I always wondered 
why I prayed for apocalypse before sleep
and waking up, still whatever, 
whatever, was always
outside

whispering planets secretly in my ear
you left me jungles and deserts, 
you handed me worlds I never knew
what to do with
and all the time tempting me
to join with you
naked

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
