Desirable Enigma

 

How can it be

That you invoke

A sublime temptation inside of me ?

 

It is because

I’m a fool for a pretty face

Or nothing to do with

My lust over a beautiful body.

 

There is something different

About you…

 

A certain sex appeal

That combines

Confidence with innocence

That drives me wild;

transforming my exotic desires

from a caged tiger

into the king of the jungle.

 

With just one touch from you

And I’d be wrapped around your finger,

I guess I should be thankful

I am out of arms reach.

Such a balancing act to keep oneself safe yet wanting so much to lose all control and be passionate with out care. Finding that person who tempts us with just a thought of them is an intoxicating feeling that makes us yearn to be with them but know that they are dangerous to be near. Love how you captured this so well in this write. Wonderful work.

Thank you hon, yes it is very intoxicating to the point it eventually becomes undeniable to withstand.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Absolutely love it! Especially the ending...it had me laughing. Beautiful write, Cowboy!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you so much, appreciate the kind feedback.

[Bright Ocean Star]

One small thing...did you deliberately leave the 'me' off of the first stanza? just wondering....

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

No I didn't, thank you for catching that.

[Bright Ocean Star]

You are welcome...:)

The taunting of the mind and body. Play safe, Tiger.

Oh now this is good. I love how you're so captivated yet so thankful and glad to be out of their reach! You never know what might happen if you let yourself be caught, especially when you are quite happy to just be where you are...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thanks so much Sye, appreciate your thoughts and kind words.

Yes, a cowboy moth flapping its wings hard into the sun or a candle flame never touching lest it sizzles. Out of your cage of darkness, and into the wide open spaces riding your wild stallion into the sunset.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you for such a poetic review.

[Aethereal]

You're welcome! Just some mental impressions that your poem brought to mind. Never fly into the sun if your wings are held together with wax.

There is always that unexplained "something" about someone who captivates us that we can never quite put our finger on and this expresses that feeling so well.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

yes toy that is so true. I am always shocked when i am that to someone.

[Madalyn Beck]

I love this!! Captivated by someone yet thankful to be out of reach of their grip.. Save yourself! It's kind of how I feel lately. I'm states away from someone, desiring to be near, yet so thankful I'm not. Otherwise, I'd never escape. Great, great write!! (:

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I am so glad you liked this so much and that you relate to it... Always nice when you enjoy my words.

"There is something different
About you…"

Indeed we are captivated with a unique characteristic of a person. They say, there is something excellent from something exotic. lol.
Enjoyed your wordplay here. Keep smiling.
