Seduction (Rain Quintet Part II)

Seduction

 

Where do we first go astray

Where do we start to just slip away

It's the flash of an eye

It's the graze of a hand

It's the slight whispered voice

It's the thrill that finds itself

Rising and rising and rising

 

Where do we first go astray

Where do we start to just slip away

It's the voice that rings out harshly

It's the unreturned caress

It's the kiss with out passion

It's the dying conversation

Falling and falling and falling

 

There is a thrill in seduction

when it brings fire to the heart

There is a sadness in seduction

When it tears a love apart

 

Where do we first go astray

Where do we start to just slip away

It's in the scent as they pass by

It's in the heat as they pause

It's in the trembling of the hand

It's the butterflies deep inside

That turn and turn and turn

 

Where do we first go astra

Where do we start to just slip away

It's waiting without reason

It's leaving without goodbye

It's the dismissive tone

It's the subtle cutting words

That burn and burn and burn

 

There is a thrill in seduction

when it brings fire to the heart

There is a sadness in seduction

When it tears a love apart

 

Where do we first go astray

Where do we start to just slip away

We might be true in everything we do

But its the things that we don't

We might be honest in all we say

But its the words that we don't

It's somewhere in the silence

 

Somewhere in the silence

There is a thrill in seduction

When it brings fire to the heart

somewhere in the silence

There is a sadness in seduction

When it tears a love apart

 

Seduction is the second of the quintet of lyrical poems. (Rain is the first of the quintet.)
