The call of eternal light cast a heavy shadow over this earthly gloom.

She reaches me,

Touches me,

In places I shouldn’t say.

Caresses’ me,

Teases me,

In a hypnotic sort of way.

Promises me,

Me.

One she’d never betray.

She wants me,

She tells me,

It’s just my body that’ll decay.

I must kill me,

Defeat me,

If I want her to forever stay.

She leaves me,

She leaves me,

But only for today.

Clay ramblings:

Raven’s Rest

    Well composed Clay, but don’t go with her just yet. Prefer you composing rather than decomposing. :)

    enticing- as it should be by the title with a large glimpse of the consequences of giving in. Seductress is dark and deep!
