COME CLOSER

COME CLOSER - The succubus prayer.

COME CLOSER

Come closer

That’s better

So I can see your lovely face

No guile in your eyes

So blue, what a prize

Innocent still, your body untouched

So fresh for the picking

I can taste you from here

Don’t look away now

There’s nothing to fear

I just want to look

It’s the rule of the old

It’s all we have left

Memories, still lucid

And pain

So much pain

I'm simply bereft

Come closer

I’m harmless

No fight in this frame

You are young

So enticing

Your youth is a drug

A feast for my eyes

I can suck it all up now

Don’t you see, It's my gift?

Come closer much closer

I really don’t bite

No teeth, not in sight

So rounded

So ripe

So perfect

It’s not right

So jealous it hurts

Was once mine

I was pert

I’d swop all the hurt

My wisdom, for life

I’m ready to go

All it takes is one touch

A small peck on the cheek

It’s easy to take

You’re raised well

Such manners

Not easy to fake

Come closer, yes closer

I’m old and inert

Just a kiss for a lady

So frail in her chair

Come closer I need you

Oh yes you are fair

Close your eyes for a second

You're here, its begun

New body

New senses

New eyes to look down

At the senile old lady

Who screams in protest

Take her away now

She’s crazy

A clown

She says I’ve her body

She’s upsetting the guests

At last

I am mobile

Warm blood fills my veins

Let’s dance to the music

There’s men to embrace

Come closer

I’m ready

To taste life once more

Who’s first on my dance card?

Was I like this before?

Such a treat, so much promise

My desire knows no bounds

So come on, come closer

And see for yourself

I have a new body

And a delightful new face.
