Temptress

Temptress

Jumping off the cliff
With the wind running
Skeletal fingers through tousled hair
The hands of an indelicate imagined lover
Below the darkness giving way
To lapping waves of sea or rock
Encompassing screaming joy
The leap- the fall- the flying freedom
Such a vivid vision it was
The ebb and flow of laughter and tension
Lilies crushed between whispering lips
Keeping the secrets and illusions in
Tempt me darling-Tempt me
