Literary Seduction

Let me seduce you with words and language

Softly caress with plot twists, turns, and action

Whisper sweet nothings of nail-biting suspense

Tense intrigues, high stakes, and danger

Hold your gaze with mystery, mind games

And historical romances

Let me wrap you in my warm-blooded blanket

Of poetry, drama, crime stories, and espionage

Lie with you on the sofa as you choose

From a delightfully delectable offering of

Comedy, science fiction, action, and true-life stories

Until entwined in your heart and mind

They explode with emotions, feelings, takeaways, and meanings

Let me flirt with you again and again

Tempting your sensibilities with a scintillating array of vocabulary

Enticing you with rhyme and simile; hyperbole and oxymoron

Feeding you with sweet words of hope and confidence

And the promise of endless possibilities

Till overcome and sated you demand sweet encore

As you levitate to blissful life-changing contentment
