The Lady

She rides the air on moonlit beams
 and softly whispers in my dreams.
An angel born of righteous light,
 who traded heaven for the dark of night.

She weaves a web of delicate lies
 and cast her spell with deep dark eyes.
Her lips are full and ripe to kiss,
 but filled with more venom than a serpent's hiss.

She will draw you in with an hypnotic dance
 and drain your mind into an evil trance.
She will lay you down on a bed of clouds
 and wrap your soul with a black- laced shroud.

At last she owns you, you've become her slave,
 you've slipped too far, no one can save.
You will float forever in her loving arms,
 another fool has fell for her wicked charms.

"at last she owns you" - this is one powerful wicked seductress! You had me at "hypnotic trance and evil trance". Wow! A FAV.

She's kind of scary. Thanks Caren
