Jezebel

There is danger in these eyes,

Tempting as their lure may be.

A darkness of deceitful lies

Casts shadows surreptitiously

To hide behind her supple limbs,

Kiss the sunset of her lips.

Taste the magical delight

Dancing from her fingertips.

 

There is little to forewarn as

She lies stealth in her disguise.

All her wiles come into play

Offering herself as prize.

 

Gleefully he takes the lure,

Sets the hook deep in his jaw.

Weakened by his carnal urge,

Lust becomes his fatal flaw.

 

Who would know you, Jezebel?

Who would heed your siren’s call?

Mind is strong but flesh is weak and

Eyes cannot foresee the fall.
