Soft as Petals

~ Painting by Richard Burlet “Woman in Blue” ~

 

M ysterious lady in blue silk wrap
a bewitching beauty as to mesmerize
sculpted by aphrodite’s hand
so seductive as to scandalize

a wilding stare of icy blue
floats above a dangerous pout
spellbound by her magic eyes
she holds your soul with no way out

her smile will ignite and hypnotize
lips soft as petals on a new spring rose
she prowls with a leopard’s grace
to be certain fool — yes, she knows

you are now her helpless captive
held hopelessly soul addicted
her immortal heart is cerulean flame
is she an angel — or truly wicked
