Seduction

Seduction
By Quizmo LaGrande

The power of words
Quite extraordinary
Gift or curse
Words wisely placed
Drives romance
To groveled knees
Begging, pleading
For caress
Again and again
With magic prose
Dizzying euphoria
Pursuing frenzied fancy
Through imagination’s
Labyrinth.

Words to heighten
Each and every soul
A vision, glimpse
Of reality,
Fantasy
Words to send
Retched self
To darkest depths
Of denial, and desire.

Manipulated
By simple syllable,
Placated
By proper placing,
Excited and charged
By dangling desires
Predicated
To passion.
A tender stroke
Embellished
Like the private sound of fingers
In a secret place.
Words, exploring, stimulating
Groping for just the right feel,
For life’s most titillating touch.
