A strange woman can turn you into a deranged human Lust not after her She'll leave you to just rot, heavy cost incur Eye-grabbing, she will lure Don't fall into her trap Soul-stabbing she is, stay pure With false vows, she entices Be not seduced by her beauty She'll waltz, carouse, all wayward vices Stay away from her streets Her house directs to death Play, then prey - that's...

Dangerous dalliance, life threatening thrill A menacing fun, a somber skill One that makes the beating blast A fleeting fame that will never last A ride in raging rolling coaster A gem devoid of lasting luster It's like an ice in white-hot weather That leaves nothing, even a feather For, after all the showing stun Glory...

Perilous is the journey, sordid is the quest, flashing flirtatious desire, Treacherous is gaudy aspiration, playing with torrid flames of fire; No matter how thrilling, how visceral may feel this insidious chase, Neither it is a road to endearment, nor is it a destination of grace. Provocative is charming croon, simulating sound of love’s acclaim, Exhilarating is ephemeral attraction, missives...

Enchantment of fire is so beautiful to hunt, seductive, intoxicating, wild, and untamed... an entranced moth, in tawny fragile wings fluttering in frenzy, yearning for warmth embraces the irresistible flickering sparks. their mirth in sync, a dangerous dalliance. fuzzy deception in the lure of its blaze the moth knows not its short life span. Please stay...

Nights of passion with no strings attached Ignited by booze and a lusty zest, Bodies gyrating, so tightly pressed, Wanton desire, emotions detached Regrets come with hangovers that can't be patched The night was a blur, yet he felt stressed, Nights of passion with no strings attached Ignited by booze and a lusty zest A...

Yesterday the world engaged askance And as you held my hand As surely as the firmament of Earth The hardening of your gaze Assured my spirit of your recant It is in the world we know it as time itself here shadows bend within visions far beyond hope Mountainous, like regions where eternals dwell The pillage of my heart takes hold With things to...

Our love forbidden, hidden, went awry. A dangerous dalliance we did try. With whispered words, we took the chance, To steal a moment's forbidden romance. But, danger lurked in every glance, At first the dare enthralled the dance. But, the scared glances took their toll, Denying our love the depth of an attentive soul. The flames of furtive passion, soon grew cold, Leaving our...

Oh, it was a beautiful cloudless sunny day, as I wandered a meadow to make a bouquet; all about butterflies were dancing a ballet, and I was dazzled by the song of a blue jay ! To a rippling stream I went on hearing a song, and there a man sang a tune beautiful and strong; his heavenly voice mingled...

Life, ne'er the primrose path of dalliance for me (and in league with this shady world), like the accused who has no innocence, fleeced me as my tribulations unfurled; deprived and in disgrace with Fortune's eyes, with all hope lost and none at...

i shall never be able to forget our affection was deep as first love, and wild as all regret- crimson and medallion encompass my soul; ‘neath the autumn moon i still etch your silhouette sincerity arrived and remorse soon followed, for i needed compassion, someone to console- i put away my lace to replace what was before, now my poor essence shallow,...

dalliance in a bungalow; euphony. our mellifluous voices blend and no longer is mine demure felicity fills our love lagoon an effervescent elixir that which is becoming of beauty that, which is so ephemeral. fugacious love succumbs to day for when the gossamer web of amorance turns chatoyant in sunlight, their murmurous musings begin and so we must reveal the imbroglio of our...
