Come play with me, are you following?
Brace yourself now, it's about to begin.
A drawing power that can't be explained,
a hope, an allure then change to deranged.
Snaring the weak, encourage the brave,
becoming the master but never the slave.
A promise that falls from the plumpest of lips
and speaks them as kisses upon curvy hips.
A sweetner to what is a bitter conclusion,
the last chapter closed with a sense of confusion.
Cajoling and teasing, the inveiglement,
a constant reminder that you will repent
and repel the seduction so horribly wrong,
yet so right,
forget that your heart's not where it should belong.
Taking the bait, the wrong turn in the road,
shoulders lay fractured from burdening loads.
Arousing a scene with a love movie theme,
where nothing is real,or even a dream.
Concocted and conjoured, manipulated
to thinking that love can't become a habit.
Addictive, a poison that freezes your veins,
and shatters when 'loved' turns into 'betrayed'.

Soaked into the mystery
of turquoise night
Soaring through time
glide in pure light
Helium engorged ,
floating in the wind
in peace thought I ,
inveiglement brought sins
Divine grace slayed
mercy was splayed,
lifeblood split ,
eternity is made
Falling and swirling
opened eyes blaze,
shrieking of glory
black night sways
Veils over faces
sins will be reviewed,
what evil wrought
glazed out with no moon
Blood in trickles
like paint in the sea,
tears line my face
as mercy is freed
Extinguished this bright
of everlasting life,
and I cried softly
with misery tonight
