Seductions Whispers


As soft as a whisper carried on a breeze
Your words enchant souls with alarming ease
Encased in a gown of wonder disguised as lace
Those lies and deception from your pen race
Words that sparkle like gems bait your trap
Which in its own time shuts with a snap
Your masterly artistry that murmurs entice
Into souls’ sanctuary your weapons slice

Souls writhe in anguish calling for release
Begging for the torture to pause then cease
Held enslaved in despair they beg as they plea
While your silken words draw out the mystery
The warnings ignored now laugh in delight
For they work with you in stealing hearts light
Increasing the agony as you play your game
Those souls held enthralled will go insane

A ribbon of enchantment turns into chain
Desperate souls now dance to misery’s refrain
Hearts that had flown high in swirling desire
Now shiver in ice unable to reach towards fire
Reveal your true self before those souls cry out
Exposing their pain in anger, justice they shout
Release your captives and let them go free
If I cut their chains you’ll battle with me!

My words don’t entertain lies they will shine
Truth has its own power and its shield is mine
And hearts that cry sobbing for beauty’s shame
My soul hears their pain screaming your name
Feel now the laser of truth freeing those hearts
Gathering them together to let the healing start
I’ll deflect your words and execute your lies
And truthful beauty will live while despite dies

Marsha
