Seduction

Seduction
by sassynyc

It is:
     Tall dark and handsome
     Big, bald headed and phyne
     Six feet plus, the color of black berry molasses

It is:
     Long legged and round hipped
     Doe-eyed and full lipped
     Silken and sultry, the color of burnt sienna

It is:
     The amber glow from crystal tumblers
     The sound of precious metal flowing
     Liquid gold and silver filling glass
     In a dimly lit room

It is:
     The sparkle of stardust on mirrored tabletops
     The shimmer of translucent pipes
     The brilliance of white rocks

It is:
     A ballet danced by six-sided lovers
     Across a green felt stage

It is:
     The sultry slink of scandal
     Draped in black and white
     The flash of the camera
     Big city, bright lights

It is:
     Dead presidents
     And the joy they can bring
     Passed from fingertips to palms
     And taken in vain
       
Know this:
     Anyone can be had
     We are all weak
     Simply a matter
     Of the poison we seek
