Blisters on her shoulders shine, stars shooting
Tropical oil atop taut ceramic
Grit of bovine bone sand grinds, beach beauty
Groomed grey by sea flaky pastry panic
Cracked glaze icing ocean rolls relentless
Spills tsunami trauma over mollusc
Drags drama to harmless shell, defenceless
Untreated ulcer explodes, popped polyp
Gapes gradually, a cosy crimson cave
Cooks cops, six hundred degrees celcius
Brave baking sunbather, firing depraved
Sordid are buried by her, healthiest
Grains stockpile, Gestapo ogres, exiled
Gives laughter back to languid mermaid child
Second of October
Sent overboard
Seductress' oven
catty seductress
wizard of feline wiles

Red Damsel Seductress...
You peel away my poor defense.
Your body oozes poison.
Your lavender venom gives me voices!
Red Damsel Seductress...
Smooth evil in your Heavenly dress.
You lay back and blow your steam.
Your attitude is like tainted cream.
Red Damsel...
Your devilish ways!
Drinking the thoughts of my brain...
Tickling all of my pain!
Red Damsel Seductress...
Your the baddest girl from the East to the West!
Your a real cold crazy, *itch with a quest...
and cool is your fire in my chest!
enchanting ravishing seductress
keeps men guessing her constant needs
her latest conquest is my cousin Gus
victim of her spells, no one can supersede
full of blarney and oodles of bull
twisting him about with great success
she has mesmerized poor Gus’s soul
a black widow who does not confess
He always calls me a seductress, temptress, succubus.
Always giving into my most alluring, tempting kiss.
Indeed he is always mine as I am the one who brings him bliss.
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
tempting seductress smells like lavender
he tries not to notice, but keeps flitting back to her
like a butterfly to a flame,
her enticing beauty intrigues him
she is quintessential.
Seducing whispers float upon the breeze
as scents of jasmine waft on the midnight air.
A soft, elusive presence comes to tease;
her gentle, tempting touch extends a dare.
A zealous sea of charm engulfs your soul
as rapture's queen absorbs your fantasies.
The pathways of your mind are where she'll stroll
while capturing erotic memories.
She'll slowly paint desire upon your face
as dazzling eyes entrance you with their gaze.
She'll bind you tightly in delight's embrace
and gently coax you through excitement's maze.
Enthralled, you'll walk the shores of Eden's twin
where waves of captivation brush your feet.
You'll hold enticement's hand as floods begin
to bathe your dreams in passion's swirling heat.
As pleasure's diva thrills you 'til the morn,
she drowns you in her swells of ecstasy.
Allegiance to this empress has been sworn;
no longer is your virile spirit free.
The colors of the dawn invade your sleep
and cast a shooting ray of brilliant light.
You waken with a yearning that is deep;
a gift from this Seductress of the Night.
I'm a seductress
I suck you like a vacuum
with my amethyst eyes
My black leather shorts
reveal bare thighs
I'm a seductress
I seem close to you
yet I'm very far
I'm light years away
like a blinking star
I'm a seductress
You want to pluck me
from the sky
but I'm only
candy to the eye
I'm a seductress
I will not come
to your door
If I do I will lose
my allure
I'm a seductress
I will make you
perpetually wait
never ceasing
to fascinate
ENVY IS A SEXY SEDUCTRESS
On days when the devil's workshop opens
On the streets of an idle mind,
Envy visits and knocks.
It lingers on your porch,
As you try to call it stranger
And busy yourself
With thoughts of the good Jesus
Or the days when you shone too.
A vapourized consolation
That clouds over your hope
And rains in intermittent despair.
Envy brushes aside her long hair.
Softly, it knocks and winks.
So you open and it glides in on heels
Flaunting irresistible humps
Like a glossy damsel in a mini skirt.
Caressing the back of your mind,
Whispering in soft tones,
Evil plots of destruction;
For peers that cruise in Porsches.
The ones that brandish their wedding rings
And threw bouquets which you always missed.
Bubbling in fine villas
Surrounded by giggling kids,
In new posts and instagrams.
A flagrant display of all you wish
All which you couldn’t have.
So you get all warmed up
And she’s all over you in a trice.
The first time I saw her
There she stood
Just a silhouette
Breathtaking
On top of a hill
Tall and elegant
Alone and free
Long youthful mane
Swaying ever so gracefully
To the beat of
The summer breeze
So nonchalantly waiting
For the pageant to begin
Her procession of suitors
And they did come
One after the other
Lovers taking turns
The Sun and the Moon
Coy and coquette
Never letting on
Blissfully content with
This cycle of seduction
Never feeling pressured
To pick one over the other
This went on for years
So it was natural that
Her aging neighbor
Understanding and mature
Became a confidente
As I looked on to
These two faithful friends
Almost accomplices
In this wave of deception
One friend in her prime
The other quite weathered
I wondered if
It even crossed her mind that one day
Youthful looks may give way
To the needs of building another fence.

Tempt me oh sweet seductress
With your heart of lies
I've let lust take the best of me
It took everything
It leaves me so empty
Wake me up
Let me know that I am loved
I'll go through hell for you
Will you love me at my worst
Or will you leave me in my thirst
Please believe in me
Tempt me oh sweet seductress
With your heart of lies
I've let lust take the best of me
It took everything
It leaves me so empty
Oh God
Please let me suffer
When I have nothing to offer
Put me in the stomach of the beast
Take the best from me
Let me know this house is not my home
Show me you're on the throne
Please draw me close to you
As I run away from you
Tempt me oh sweet seductress
With your heart of lies
I've let lust take the best of me
It took everything
It leaves me so empty
I want more than this world
has given me
Dark thoughts of emptiness
Is all I've seen
I wanna believe I can live my dreams
That there's a better path ahead of me
Please give me the strength to scream
Leave me
Oh Sweet Seductress
She lies in wait donning midnight lace.
Soft, ebony curles to frame her face.
Silky, smooth, ivory skin,
brings to knees most lustful men.
Seductive stare of sky blue eyes
draws them in to hypnotize.
Lush, full lips of ruby red.
Satin shimmers across her bed.
Lovers embrace, intense, yet tender;
ahh, the flow of sweet surrender.
Drained until the body quivers.
A spell of fantasy, she delivers.
A life to give for dreams of bliss.
None can resist the vampire's kiss.
If only you knew
about the things I do.
The secret life I live.
By day I'm your wife,
honest and true,
by night I'm 'Seductress Queen Viv '
It's seven a.m.
I make your breakfast again,
just before you go off to work,
I wave you off as you go
and before you know,
my wifely duties I shirk.
I get online and strip in time
for the men who want to pay.
They're all really nice,
pay the price
and say they want to meet me one day.
So, on go the stockings and
lipstick .... shocking red,
then I do a lap dance
whilst balancing on my bed.
Some of the men I talk to,
if they want to pay,
I speak in a husky voice
and say what they want me to say.
Uh oh, I hear your car coming up the drive,
off with the stockings
and as quick as a flash
into my jeans I dive.
I run to the kitchen
just as you get out of your car,
as you open the door,
I say with a smile,
'hi hunny,there you are.'
Clad ever so classy,
Moves, smooth and sassy,
Her gestures are flirtatious,
A smile so contagious,
Beguiling wiles of a temptress,
Enthralling allure of an enchantress,
In decadence she thrives,
Of men, she makes knaves.
Her lips, thin,
Irresistibly tempting,
Her ways, perverse,
Her touch, so intense,
Her mannerism, licentious,
Her velvety skin, soft and sensuous,
Her gait, pleasing,
Constantly teasing.
Buttocks perfectly rotund,
Hips callously protrude,
Breasts in defiance of gravity,
Slender legs trot in calamity,
Her body, an uneven landscape,
Hills and valleys whence no escape,
Seduction is her coin,
Causing a stirring in men’s loins.
Consumed by lust,
To betray love’s trust,
Under the hypnosis of a sirens song,
For her embrace men long,
Passion fuelled by desire,
She alone can quench the fire,
An iniquitous transaction,
Souls of men in barter for sexual gratification.
