Seduced
By: JoAnna Martin

Do you even know the extent of
your power to seduce?
There are no limitations 
to the desires you produce.
Do you know you’re like a God
watching over me at night?
The mere thought of your touch
fills my soul with delight.
If only you knew.
If only you could see.
Just what it is that you do to me.
In dream-filled nights
or waking hours,
I am captivated by your alluring power.
With eyes so suggestive 
of passionate pleasure,
a hypnotic seductiveness
beyond any measure.
Enthralled by your beauty, 
charmed by your smile,
I can live without you no more,
come to me for awhile.
If you only knew.
If you could only see.
Just what your temptation does to me.
In dream-filled nights
or waking hours,
enticement is the root of your powers.
Tell me, tell me
do I win or lose
when I have been 
seduced by you?
