Wicked

Eve and Lilith by favoritecolour

You can tempt me with the apple
You can tempt me with the core
Cause once I've had a taste of you
You leave me wanting more

I swallow down a mouthful
While most spit out the seeds
Your forked tongue beside my ear
Bespeaks most evil deeds

When I hear the hell hounds howl
I dress myself in night
I climb into your bed while
Their dark eyes glow like whores' lights

You can tempt me with the bones
Or with the blood or with the skin
Cause it don't take much tempting
For this wicked child to sin.

Tempt Me

source

Tempt me

You never know

the things I will

do

the places I will

go

if you tempt me

just so

Paint ice hot flames

around our bed

Dare me 

to enter

with a silent stare

and a guilty smile

Play me

slow smoky jazz sounds

with your eyes

Write me poems

with your tongue

down my neck 

to the small of my back

and dot the 'i' s 

with frost covered cherry blossoms

Tempt me

Master all of my senses

Take them from me

I confess 

I am no innocent

Use me

I am your canvas

I am your book

Bind me well

Keep me

tempted.
