Woman , Yours

Oh dear ! You are better off
I’m not a smiling doll
to play with you 
Don’t  stain me
with your fingers and words
I’m possessed by a holy evil
Don’t yell my dear !
Even as an embryo 
the world knows -
I’m a witch
I didn’t bewitch you 
Don’t think too highly of yourself 
You were a nomad 
who lost your  way
in my fog of love
You want to burn me alive ?
Do you think you can ?
Oh dear ! Rub your eyes ,
blink away the fog
I’m toned like soot and 
smell like smoke 
Where is it !?
I miss the spark in your eyes
Dear , come at me !
Set the pyre alight, I crave flames 
The sizzle of flesh and bones
turning into ashes 
Never leaves me soulless
Oh dear ! I love you , 
Do you dare take me -
as your woman anew ?!
