Inner Demons

I stare in the mirror…
You’ve come a long way baby,
She says back to me,
Only I hadn’t realized it,
Until that moment,
Her reflection twinkling in my eyes,
A secret upon my lips,
As they twitch into a seductive smile,
My face a beacon,
Calling out to men,
It whispers of my sexuality –

Fully embraced.

 

That’s why they want you,

You don’t hide from what you are,
It’s in the movements you make,
The way you speak,
Seduction.

 

Yes, but it’s a two way street,
I know it seduces me too,
Not only loving the way I look,
But also the way they react,
The looks,
The temptations.

The hunter or the hunted -
For it is always a two-edged sword.

An interesting theme, I'd like to see this poem extended, you say
"The hunter or the hunted -
For it is always a two-edged sword."
But you've only really looked at the one side :)

I love this line
"My face a beacon,
Calling out to men,
It whispers of my sexuality �
Fully embraced." speaks volumes in a simple, very seductive phrase
The other side ...
To quote Bryan Ferry/ Roxy Music
" love is the drug" ...
All the same, a nice piece of work

Well penned
