Ms. Temptress
She walks in whispers, velvet-spun,
A dusk-lit wraith where hearts come undone.
Her lips, a dagger, dipped in wine,
Each word a spell, each touch divine.
A waltz of shadows, slow and sweet,
Her echoes coil at fleeting feet.
She weaves her name in silver lies,
A fleeting ghost with amber eyes.
She leans, she lingers—satin sin,
A hollow vow, a kiss too thin.
Her laughter hums through shattered air,
A warning lost, a lover’s snare.
And when she fades, her scent remains,
Perfumed ruin, laced with chains.
A dusk-lit wraith where hearts come undone.
Her lips, a dagger, dipped in wine,
Each word a spell, each touch divine.
A waltz of shadows, slow and sweet,
Her echoes coil at fleeting feet.
She weaves her name in silver lies,
A fleeting ghost with amber eyes.
She leans, she lingers—satin sin,
A hollow vow, a kiss too thin.
Her laughter hums through shattered air,
A warning lost, a lover’s snare.
And when she fades, her scent remains,
Perfumed ruin, laced with chains.
