Slippery

      Slippery (written 2/23/2009)

You tell me that
I must trust, I must believe
despite the preponderance
        of evidence
    to suggest otherwise
   my heart is desperate to be deceived
ignoring the nocuous vibe
      that emanates from your soul
     running over your lacquered tongue
        treating my ears to the words they want to hear
           if not for my eyes, those wonders that are forced
to take in your basilisk gaze
                                           I might not withstand your advances
        and would forever be held under your infernal spell
