The Gift

There is something special
About God’s gift to a man
That steals the minds of the weak
While controlling the hearts of the strong
Like the Sirens of a past myth
Whose seducing voices of persuasion
Led both the innocent and corrupt
To a song-induced death
Drowning them in blind love
So is the power of man’s greatest weakness
No longer a myth
But as real as a summer breeze
That runs an invisible hand
Through the flowers of temptation
Spreading seeds of illusion
That sprouts into lilies and roses
Mesmerizing the minds of men
And intriguing the soul
With the beauty that is a woman

Marcel

Write from the soul and the words will flow
