Seduction

When self control is lost

By Katherine GrantPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Can you see them now?

Those things that can only be felt?

Hands of ghosts riding gusts from the ocean's desperate swell

Climbing up from the dunes to gently capture you

Push you away or pull you in to a black, comfortable hell

Do not be fearful when she calls for you

She is a nightmare that has longed for you

Do not falter nor dare cower to the song of your redemption

Being silenced under her power

It's just a goddess who you have always known

Inviting you to let the night swallow you whole
