The Elixir

Poison the air

Poison the breeze

Look at me,

Poison me please.

Take a step

Come too close

And your body

I will use as my host.

Fill my head

With your perfume so sweet

And I will have no choice

But to make our lips meet.

Touch my hand

Or graze my face

With softness that kills

Ravished in lace.

If I sank my fingers in your skin

Or slid my hands down your side,

An ocean of passion would burst

And open wide.

Power so light

Power so slight

Yet I quiver in my powerful flight

If you saw what you did

Find me first for I have hid

In a forest of you,

So full of you.

Rain or shine

I bask in your beauty

And guard your face in my thoughts

As if it were my duty.
