My sweet temptress,
Why must I garner my sins for thee?
Making love in moments of three.
My sweet temptress,
Coming and going is in your nature,
Enough women to satisfy a nomenclature.
My sweet temptress,
An ally you are not,
For you waited until my sweet date would rot.
My sweet temptress,
The dance of the sea describes you well,
Contained you are not, as the tides swell.
My sweet temptress,
You are Earth and I am fire,
I burned you in moments of sinful desire.
My sweet temptress,
Why must you leave?
Your heavy branches I am forced to heave.
My sweet temptress,
Calling your fruit sweet is not just,
Only in moments of sweet, sweet, lust.
My sweet temptress,
As the moon controls the tide,
Gravity pushes this triangle together, and you must abide.
My sweet temptress,
To tempt thee I am obliged,
Punishment does not follow us until it is fully inside.
