The Orchid of Desire

My love is like a sensuous being

the naked curves so smooth.

You've fooled a hundred thousand men

into lusting after you.

My love is like raw desire,

a passion hidden deep within

the heart of all mankind.

One of the seven deadly sins.

Once spotted, eyes are torn to you,

not daring to look away,

in case they miss for a second,

the beauty you portray.

 

You are the giver of life and death

in moments of blissful agony.
