LABYRINTH

​hips swinging 
jingling
fainting flashes of
flickering
I am your desire
your fire
your flame
smoke clouds the river
entangling us
rippling at
the water's edge
I lay on a canvas of liquid paint
a lotus
captured for all time
singing and
praising
your reflection
swallowing wine
while
the dance of an enchantress
Apsara
seductress
of gods and men
opening flowers
your eyes
I am a nymph
a prize
dragons fly
hovering beside
a rock
you sink
within
​losing your breath
catching woefulness
you rest
your chest of coin
charging nearer to war...for what? Glory, pride,
battle size...it matters not
apples full and round
tumbling to the ground
your crown of gold
and cold crimes of deceit
licking at sweets
of my charming ways
hips swaying
casting a spell
ensnaring you into my lair
fair winds and following seas 
sirens blare
promiscuous with honors
colors 
allure
ashes ending our dance
my trance of circumstance
and jealousy
sending you distancing for a time
dueling
lusting
desiring with red eyes
I bring chaos and war
admitting no more or
Less
than is required
mischievous whether by
seduction or abduction
it matters only that 
I trap you
Inside my Labyrinth
