One more Poem...Envision This!

Envision (The Doubletake)

Envisioned—this feeling of power:
Walking down the hall, I am a zephyr
raising hairs on the nape of your cool neck.
Did I catch your eye?

I am a woman; unlike the women you found under carnal knowledge before me.

Warning: dangerous
seductress
enchantress
going by not watching you
floating by she captures you
trailing by her scent in the air
You are so vain, so hard, so weak:
She would lash you in chains of desire ...
You’d not get free of her soul-binding strength.

I am ordinary though. I am she.
I am what I believe. I am she.
I am walking by now...

A lover’s dream with an average face?
Your eyes misinformed you--intrigue remains.

Envisioned--beauty, love, power--I am she.
Yeah...that was just me!
