Her winsome smile belied her secret essence
A temptress and siren
Given to saturnine quintessence
And I a man of placid and calm complexion
Became ever more umbrageous
With each stranger she offered affection
Ciara Cybelle chose to take her chances
Unconcerned by my mood
Continued her frenzied romances
She swooned at my charm
And laughed at my wit
And yet held to another man’s arm
Ciara Cybelle a nymph out of hell
Twisting a man
With her temptress spell
I had to make her understand
She simply had to see
I must be her only man
But Ciara Cybelle laughed instead
Eyes flashing fire
She brazenly said
The likes of me would never know
The deliciousness
Of the charms she would bestow
On other men she found fairer
Then in a rage
I struck in blind error
And carefree Ciara Cybelle
Lay shattered and still
At my feet where she fell
To the dark waters I fed
The alabaster body
Of Ciara Cybelle dead
Now benthic stillness of cimmerian depths
Disturbed by the pale lifeless limbs
Of Ciara Cybelle
Now tumescent and water pruned
The once sempiternal beauty
Forever ruined

Line 2: "she reassured me with an unfamiliar line"
she's but an alluring, poisonous spider
that wields her sexiness like a weapon.
come what may, she gets what she wants;
an opportunist; her target, malleable men
uninterested in relationships, she's all about
grifting. she once tried to lure me into her web.
she reassured me with an unfamiliar line...
"don't worry, I don't bite!"...but I knew better.
she's an effortlessly seductive temptress
with intoxicating charms tough to resist;
she enjoys dangling her feminine wiles
like a carrot for benighted men to nibble.
she's left a trail of broken men in her wake.
be careful, my guy! do not let her suck you
into the vortex of her magnetism, for she'll be
the author of your destruction.

Sugar, you temptress, you hide everywhere
In many a form you never play fair
You sneak in my life like a thief in the night
Stealing my breath with every sweet bite
Making me long for your taste everyday
From the moment I wake, I’m your gullible prey
A ‘dangerous substance’ is what you should be
With red and bold letters, for innocents to see
There is not a food where your charms are not found
Queen of addictions, you should have been crowned
More forms than a demon, you use to deceive
You change your appearance, to make me believe
Liquids and solids, and all in between
Your arrogant invasion, at the least, very keen
In every known texture, you’ve come to exist
Creamy or hard, too many to list
At breakfast, lunch, dinner, you always control
Little by little, you’re taking a toll
No matter the food, you always are there
You’ve caught me at times in your devilish snare
I’ve seen you appear on some labels, three times
In a court you’d be guilty of three separate crimes
Sugar, you temptress, I’m watching for you
And the very next time when you make your debut

The Temptress And Her Dark Spread Wicked Web
Your course was chosen, waiting for you to find it
Love came forth and you sought to forever bind it
Yet earth and sky saw your scheming inner spirit
And in life's madden race, a voice said, just shear it
Mother Nature saw and fiercely shook your rafters
Whilst Fate smiled at those wily little crafters
O' blindness, your melody races ahead
Your soul lives on dirty water and molded bread.
Laugh at those that see your audacious little game
With those selfish whims and you without any shame
Moon mocks you as your lying roars like loud thunder
Tis very true, truth shall bring your dreams asunder.
Your course was chosen, waiting for you to find it.
Love came forth and you sought to forever bind it.

Operating on egos, heavy trust excavator
Temptress trampled tendons, smooth massuese
Promised loyalty, gushing hasty behaviour
Brought men false hope of frail soul's spruce
In her rancid blood, infused through bone
Methods to tease displayed glitter gleam genuine
Blinded sociable victims, feelings on loan
Passed true hearts to her raw to be grilled in pain
Phillippa's diction wrapped wholly in self progess
Dripping honey hands rubbed despondent
Caused fragile faith to cluster beneath her caress
Pleased moans drown clandestine wanton
Balmy endearment seeped from lascivious tongue
Money fled cheerfully from them as echoes
Sweet sway, her silky serenade, systematically sung
Stifled sage judges amidst ravenous shadows

Autumn
She shakes her auburn hair
And Summer's loss is Winter's gain
The heartbreak moment
Here again.
A beauty tempting to the eyes
Her backdrop; painted vivid, scarlet skies
She breezes in like dancing Ginger
On reddened carpet, the silent seasonal swinger.
Whispering her intention to all who will listen
On slippery ground her garments glisten.
The naked tree exposed and bare
Stands shameless in the streetlight's stare.
And all the voices in the town
Becry denuded Summer's gown.
The green is lost. The seamless lushness
Replaced by Wintery shapeless toughness.
And yet, with all the withered fronds,
The fallen desires of that which belongs,
A hidden motivation starts
To teach our fickle, sun-lust hearts..
That while we long for sunlight's haze,
And mourn the loss of Summer's gaze,
We find that deep within our sorrow
A golden promise of tomorrow.

Tale Of False Image Of The Beautiful Temptress
In her allure, a furtive glaze
her eyes, seductive ways
beckoning back receptive gaze,
revealing beauty pays.
She set the stage, spreading her feast
enchanting there, a coming hope
in her dark heart, a fearsome beast,
hidden beyond life's horoscope.
The rancid world, its ebbing tides
its tempting sweets, its dark
holding powers, hatreds it hides,
its wicked ways, savage and stark.
She born of black, her heart so cold
revealed a sad past
of princess into slavery sold,
lies setting heart aghast.
In her deep thoughts, victim's demise
in her breast, blades of hate
from life's truth, word to the wise,
halt, it may be too late.
Her closest friend, soft moonlit glows
casting light, pale in shades
to better hide vindictive blows,
to sink in angry blades.
Out loud she laughs, while strolling away
another one sent deep
as world and wicked temptress play,
whilst unsuspecting sleep.

I find the ocean awesome
As awesome as can be
It can be tempestuous
A very cruel and menacing sea
Other times it's placid
Peaceful and calm
Rather like a woman
Who can turn on her charm
Change in a second
Like the changing tide
To a screaming fish wife
This side she tries to hide
There's a difference though
With ocean and fish wife
The sea rolls on forever
And the woman just for life

What of the fading dreams of golden fleece
long lost amid the fears from which they fled
when does the angst of separation cease
release them as cold memory’s they shed
allow the lifeless crest of frozen waves
a mellowing approach to warm sand beach
unloose the blackened cape from wintry knaves
grant them the wishes that they so beseech
Sun’s flames do so ignite these dormant loves
that in the heat of sated warmth they bloom
awakening a fluttering of doves
to marvel at the peacocks mating plume.
Oh temptress, sweet seduction’s wiles unveil
‘neath sated moon let nature’s lusts prevail.

The temptress on her noon day smiles
with cadence fought back a tear from her eyes
the longing and belonging
the days are coming to hear a song
to set you on flight with wings to help you get along
whoever eats Summer's grapes shall be unharmed
stretch forth your hands to a traffic stop along the emblems far too sent
The temptress laid waste in her proxy bit unpolished
to bask in the vast expanse of the tropics
take you away to a beautiful place
whinding down the ladder
beg for mercy nor mere chatter
she dipped her pen in the ink well again
cold hearts etched in its timeless frenzy exposed

Tempted by this temptress my lust was not spared,
Her dance was in motion and I became deeply ensnared,
Tongue onto tongue,
Hips upon hips,
Tides of our passion I shall never forget,
Beast on a leash she teased me endlessly,
I prowled her wonderland hardly could stand but no need,
Any tension afore was not long to stay,
Life fell away while I pleased in foreplay,
Sweat beading down with eyes locked as we lay,
She let loose her passion with bodies pressed in ballet,
Moaning echoed in rafters was nothing short to amaze,
She said I'll follow you to hell and make it a heaven this way.

Oh, my sweet temptress of the night, with dazzling diamond smiles,
A haze, a darkness thou has cast over these childish eyes.
Bewitching, beguiling your webs are spun like heavy curtains on my brow, spew lies and evil from thine lips,
Like honey waterfalls.
Rapid torrents of deception flowing from your breast,
sweet nectar spread around your legs.
The honey vile.
Perfidious acts you are tarnished now,
Lift heavy drapes of velvet from my mind, uncast the spell so I can see
The treachery of your heart.
