On a rumpled bed of musky tangled sheets

She lays once more in passion’s spent desire

A Cheshire smile lingers on her ruby lips

As she sees he’s being lured in by her fire

He takes a sip of tepid wine, smokes a cigarette

Studies their distorted reflections in all vanity

Knows this turning point to all that was in past

Wonders if it’s all worth his lingering sanity

She reaches for the cigarette in his lips,

Takes a long, slow lingering inhale

As her fingers gently raise the dead

She’s no stranger to the body of this male

Crushing out the smoke he tries to stop her hand

The horniness of naked flesh prevails but once again

Lips crushed in ardent wanting, wild groping in the night

Love not lust awakened now like a runaway freight train

She knows his weakness and his strength

The moment when his surrenders immanent

Strikes again through his weakened armour

Know need for silly love words sentiment

With morning light he brings her coffee

Victorious she pats the spot beside her

He’s lost control and lost his reason

Now to her he’s tied forever more.
