From softest ember she imbues
her light in shades of reds and blues
flickering ‘round the nimble mind
daring you, her heart to find.

Light that warms, yet doth kill
fascination at her will
tame her? There is a doubt
she’s only yours when she is out

Warm your hands on her smile
but beware of her wile
she will woo you closer in
envelope you within her sin

Saddened then, at her demise
blackened in her cold dead eyes
mastery of her passionate ire
douse you now, this passion’s fire.

Poet deVine, Love your poem. My view is slightly different. I think man gets what he deserves. Here are my thoughts about passion.

I ask you,

Tell me if you can

Is not God a burning fire?
Is Passion, God in Woman?
Is that why she is higher?

Than an evil man.

Just wondering.

It sounds almost too hot to handle, PDV.......
