Denice Robinson (Philadelphia)
Sinful
Are you an illusion,
Could I have conjured you in my dreams?
You have caused so much confusion
Now nothing is as it seems.
I don't even really know you
Yet I feel I know you intimately
There is so much of me I want to show you
If only you agree.
I'm mesmerized by your smile
Entranced by your eyes
I lose my breath when I'm near you
When you touch me my soul cries.
If only you didn't belong to someone else
Then I would keep you all to myself
You are a sorcerer
You have me under your spell
Every moment I'm away from you
Feels like an eternity in hell
How can I have you
When you are with someone else
My desire for you is insatiable
Yet you will never know
You are a sinful indulgence
That I can never let go.
