Succubus
Like a bee trapped in the fragrant scent of flower
You wield some unseen and ungodly power
Like the wind blowing around autumn leaves
You gale straight through what a man believes
Like pull of the moon on rising tidal water
Another heart entranced and led to slaughter
Like drowning man searching for air to breathe
You create want near impossible to relieve
Like fairy dust cast with some magic spell
The minds and hearts of men you compel
Like the fervor of a whirling dervish dance
You leave them spinning, stuck in your trance
Like a magnet drawn to the opposite pole
A silent force pulls against your lover’s soul
Like the sun creeping into each new day
You slowly burn all other loves away
Like strong hinges that hold up sturdy gate
You direct the motion and determine fate
Like a fish out of water trying to stay alive
You become what they need just to survive
Like the danger of a fully loaded gun
Your love a Russian roulette of fun
Like the gravity that tears worlds apart
You can crush the life out of any heart
More care with this hunger that is given you
Can you not see what this need can do
This power you wield so haphazardly
Consumed all the love that was left in me
The opening line is epic and the whole poem has a rawness about it.
Thank you Yasmine!
You are welcome, Brad.
any poem that has the phrase “whirling dervish” is going to get a thumbs up from me! well done, as always.
I almost didn’t use the phrase for fear many people would not know the reference. Thanks for not making me feel like an idiot!
happy to help! 🙂
This one is so sexy. I absolutely love it.
I thought you might enjoy a walk on the darker side 🖤
Do I have any other sides? I dance exclusively, my love 💋
So true, I guess I thought it best to visit you in the night then, my raven-haired rebel!
Actually darling, my hair is now blood red. ❤
Touche! Now you are turning me on 😜😘
For the very first time? *bats eyelashes*
Not the first time smarties pants (sly grin) 😍😘
Hmmmm, must be the 2nd time then, mr. Man. *twirls pigtail*
Sure, let’s call it the second time if you would like, my sexy vixen!
Terrific 💓
I had a feeling you would enjoy this piece! Thank you so much for your loving support! ❤
