The Bait That Seduces Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The Bait That Seduces



The bait that seduces and refuses to let loose...
What has been preyed.
The bait that secudes and refuses to let loose...
That which is stuck to the web.
The bait that seduces and refuses to let loose...
What has been preyed,
Stays.
And what has been preyed...
Is convinced to submit and surrender.

It had not been my immediate intention,
To resist your sweetened tenderness.
It had not been my intention to be near you,
To have it mentioned.
But who knows how emotions flow?
Or how the wind blows to be prepared to escape,
From being the bait that appetizes someone's taste.

Had I been needing more time to heal,
From mistakes I've made and not revealed.
And had I been needing more time to find,
Reasons to evade heartache again?
But then came along entrapment.
An entrapment I did not intend to begin.

The bait that seduces and refuses to let loose...
What has been preyed.
The bait that secudes and refuses to let loose...
That which is stuck to the web.
The bait that seduces and refuses to let loose...
What has been preyed,
Stays.
And what has been preyed...
Is convinced to submit and surrender.
