Enticement 🌹
Randy Baker's prompt. Poetry of the 7 words.
Long I stood at the gates of beguilement and temptation
hearing him whisper his silent seduction in my ear
Feeling the unholy beckoning from the depths of the labyrinth
his serenade becoming an obsession I could not resist
Idée fixe, manic and alluring was the enticement of sinful deeds
still, there I stood, unable, unwilling to take my leave
Pondering my fate should I be foolish enough to surrender
for to enter this gateway to base uninhibited inhibitions
Was to lose myself in the sweet ethereal bliss of wanton love
the God Pan had transformed himself magnificently
From faun to the likeness of the virility of a man thing
Sinful, evil thoughts now cascade like velvety sweet nothings
rendering me an enigma to the intrinsic qualities
of my natural me
Alas, I am lost as I enter the vile gates of hades
I am Ofelia in that mythical world, interacting with the faun
I am Alice in Wonderland, meeting the Mad Hatter...only...
for me there is no escape
I have become
Lost in the dark of me
Wrapped in a delicious fall from grace!!

Idée fixe - so fancy!
Whoaaa, this was so hauntingly beautiful! I'm so mesmerized!
There is nothing enigmatic about this ethereal labyrinth of which you whisper, serenades cascading over the velvet of our common plight. Yeah, I don't know what I mean either, lol.
