Jezebel

Thereis danger in these eyes,

Temptingas their lure may be.

Adarkness of deceitful lies

Castsshadows surreptitiously

Tohide behind her supple limbs,

Kissthe sunset of her lips.

Tastethe magical delight

Dancingfrom her fingertips.

 

Thereis little to forewarn as

Shelies stealth in her disguise.

Allher wiles come into play

Offeringherself as prize.

 

Gleefullyhe takes the lure,

Setsthe hook deep in his jaw.

Weakenedby his carnal urge,

Lustbecomes his fatal flaw.

 

Whowould know you, Jezebel?

Whowould heed your siren’s call?

Mindis strong but flesh is weak and

Eyescannot foresee the fall.
