Wrong

 

What is required

To tempt a man?

What must one do

To tear from another his very being

In which lies his morals and beliefs?

What is required

To corrupt that which

Is unbearably pure?

A tight figure

And full lips…

Seductive movements

And inviting eyes?

What does it take

To win?

Or rather�"

What will one do

To capture victory

As if it were a small, frightened bird

One who dies from captivity…

Once it fades

Simply seek the next

Captive soul.

But�"what is required

To tempt a man?

Carefully chosen phrases

And fine-tuned lies.

Speak your soul

… or what is left of it…

And draw them in

With the tilt of your head

Open and innocent

Capturing nothing of your feral hunger

Insatiable need

To destroy the soul

And capture victory

Before crushing its life force

For the act itself, is tempting

And truly, who is to say

That this is wrong?

Who is to say this is wrong? hmmm only the one who has their heart crushed. This poem was rather sharp in a good way but it is true their are predators out there like this. For some men it doesn't take much to temp them especially if they think they can get away with doing something without someone else knowing. Just shows how powerful a woman's sexuality really is in the sight of a wanting man/soul. Great write.

Wow this is an excellent thought provoking write. Love the subject you went with and the ending is good. Well done..xx

[Raven Starhawk]

Extravagant poem you have penned here.

Good questions... quite valid.

I guess it depends on whom the 'selected' victim is, and just how bad the "Want-HIM" bug bit you.

As to the poem, a good taste and flow.
A seeming drift into a tangent but then brought back.

Two Quotation marks that "might" have been dashes(?) at one point:

To win?
Or rather" --------
What will one do

and

Captive soul.
But"what is required -------------
To tempt a man?


Lastly, multiple stanzas would possible serve to relieve eye stress - but that is up to you.
