He closed his eyes
trying to block the images
that came to haunt him
her beautiful smile
that was of the devil
her sweet words
laced with venom
her blissful arms
that burned his soul
Leave! His mind screamed
But she wouldn’t go
Hands outstretched
Saccharine lips inviting
Waiting to devour him
Again and again…

Sometimes, love can morph into unfathomable depths that can render a person blind to everything and everyone but the object of his affection. Compelling and powerful write.

Aagghhh! How someone can have a hold on you and still love her...deeply meaningful, Sheri...it can happen to anyone.
Allure has many names and wears many faces. Not all of them are well intentioned. As temptresses come dressed in gowns and skirts. This is another very well thought out presentation, this poem of your Sheri. I very much enjoyed it my dear friend. Love and to peace to you. Jon Michael
Guys, guys! calm down... :-) i just happened to watch the old film "The Devil's Advocate" and it gave me a little nudge to write something spooky... love you all!
Powerfully haunting Sheri, How one can have hold of another, even when it is not a healthy state, as so many are doing just this...great poem, original and brings the reader into it~
