Enchantress

undulating curves
enchantress you
unnerve me

perfumed
I’m sacrificed
left
in electric attar
wrung from cinnamon
and midnight rose

in your gaze
the mystery
of a sickle moon
at three am

your voice
stringent, strong
unravels sleep
and bind me
restless
tethered
and enslaved.

Enchantress
Luis Ricardo Falero

  1. Bjorn, reading this, I’m not sure if she is a blessing or a curse. Most likely some of both. Good choice of images to go with your enchanting poem.

  2. Enchanting or seducing, Björn, she knows how to reel a man in. I love the juxtaposition of ‘undulating’ and ‘unnerve’, and the ‘electric attar wrung from cinnamon and midnight rose’.
