Oh love, how you lured girls into your lair
With your promise of roses and ever after
You let them taste thunder and lightning
Melt them with the touch of raindrops
Dazzled them with the fragrance of spring
Besotted and maddened with passion
They chased you to the edge of the earth
Though they captured you in the end
They were mere slaves, you remain the master
And you will cage them until you have enough
Until you have kissed their innocence away
Very poignant and riveting; excellent versification!

i will be your metaphor
if you will be my muse
for i can feel the surreal
running the myriad rivers under my skin
and i have an answer that i can’t understand
if you will be my muse
i will be your metaphor
for i can speak the golden thoughts
behind the words that humans use
and poetry becomes our language of choice
