Seduction

He didn’t seduce me with sweet, kind, fake words. He seduced me with honesty and kindness and care. A compassion that was a balm to my wound. I felt safe with him. And I felt respected.

I held onto the rose
Savoring its sweet fragrant scent

I held on after all
The hope I had cherished was spent

I inhaled deeply
Stem firmly pressed against my breast

Seduction as a garment –
Wilted petals strewn across my chest

Poetic Seduction

thirsty eyes
thirsting to drink

teasing words
enticing to hear

temptation strong
tempting to sin

poetic lines
seducing me
