Seduction I Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

‘Approach romance’s violent side by mixing a cruel streak into your tender attentions, particularly in the later stages of seduction, when the target is in your clutches.’ Ryan Moore, Seduction

Shared secret, guilty crime,
Her lips kissed, her contours adored,
A voyeur’s spread; break the taboos in love,
To the ‘eleven minuteer’, spiced seductions –
Mazed occults, dark long hollow corners
Play on the insecurities of lasting fears –
That she rolls her head with her sharp knife.
Bleeding lips, your red streaked white shirt,
Thus heavens reside in around here,
Alas! I see, mass of flesh walking the street.
