Innocent
Beguiling

Violet eyes behold you
Feasting upon you
With unspoken reverie

Taunting
Tempting

A single bite
Of the ripe red orb
Is all that need be

Surrendering
Powerless

Against the hypnotic pulse
You weaken
Fighting to break free

Crumbling
Withering

As the blood of the rose
Draws breath from your heart
You now belong to me
