In the Eye of the Storm Temptation: She Owns Me
by Britt ZimmermanTemptation, my love
you waltz in and out of my life
dancing...
tribal,
unyielding and untamed before me
Brazen and laughing at my plight
Your dark soft hair brushing against my skin
Sending cosmic shivers through my body
Evil seductress
I am but a slave at your feet
wanting nothing more than
to taste...
to tempt
to inhale your vapors
and let sin spread like disease
through my bones
Sour your sweetness
Taint your purity
Lead me away from you
before I am numb
to feeling
to love.
But you refuse to be conquered.
And I refuse to be the keeper of the chains
that lock you to me
that blister your skin
You are my beauty
and I shall always come back for more
