Temptress

Her scent burns my senses
as she strolls through the plains of my mind,
cunningly tempting me to jump fences
she whispers 'I need to be cruel to be kind...'

Her breath like the cool night air
stops my wildly beating heart,
her sensual alluring  stare
drives me wild, tearing me apart.

She wraps her fingers around my wrists
and looks on at me...she looks on,
my hands slowly curl into fists
i look up...and she's gone.

My elixir for eternal life
my poison for sweet death,
i could never have her as my wife
for she makes me curse the day our eyes met.

Yet, i am her helpless slave
a prisoner draped in her chains,
without her i have only a dark cave
she is the blood in my veins.
