\"\"Temptress of the Night<\/span><\/p>\n

She lay open and splayed before me<\/span>
\nThe wicked temptress<\/span>
\nTeeth shining brilliant like the moon<\/span>
\nEyes glinting with seduction<\/span>
\nThe curtains whisper the breeze<\/span>
\nMoonlight undercuts the darkness<\/span>
\nIlluminating the shadows that lurk<\/span>
\nHer laughter cuts through to my spine<\/span>
\nIn a voice slick with melodrama<\/span>
\nWith kisses that seize<\/span>
\nAnd hands that vacillate between clawing and caressing<\/span>
\nShe has a hold of me<\/span>
\nI wither into the sheets<\/span>
\nAllowing her power to render me unsubstantial\u00a0<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
