The Voice Of Seduction

It was another lonely evening

In another lonely bar

When across the crowded gathering

I see, there you are

Intoxicating beauty and grace and poise

Seemingly unaffected by the crowd and the noise

I watched you deflect suitors by the dozen

Hovering about and stalking you like a coven

I sat and we talked and I no longer had a choice

Uncommon beauty and a lively intelligence

A rare combination beneath such a lovely countenance

And, oh lord, such an exquisite voice

Low and breathy, full of promise

The voice of seduction

Eroticism, witticism, full of compassion

A voice that prompts thoughts of

Nights of wild abandon

Of full moons.... Above warm tropical rains

Of long moonlit walks on the sands

Of fine wines and candlelit dinners

Of mountain log cabins with crackling fires

Of romantic destinations, nights filled by sighs

A woman whose conversation is an event

Intelligent, inventive, romantic, and heaven-sent

Knowledgeable about so many subjects

With a voice that entrances sweet and direct

A woman's maturity and a little girl's innocence

Simple naivete and seductive temptress

A complex woman without a doubt

A siren perhaps, singing to tout

Chivalry, sensitivity, and romance

Qualities begging for enhancement

In men the world over

Therefore the key to this maiden of myth

Is to make sure that she is never bereft

Of the qualities she so richly deserves

Do this to ensure that her love will be preserved.
