---wicked side of love --------

  Bright, burns the tongued-flames from your eyes. ,
sea child,  i have known thy kind. ,
How vain, thy sordid beauty lies.
 Enslaving the mind.

:;

From those eyes came arrows of death. ,
unachared, but many souls are pierced,  
Reeling in whirlpool,
of gushing blood. ,

:;

 Temptress! Unveil i pray thee,
thine mission heretofore, 
For a thousand of thy kind,
Have Come And gone before. 

:; 

no spare hearts left,.
no spare life to ruin. ,
Youths with plastered hearts bereft,
And some have gone quite soon!

:;

Like sapping bees of nectared rose.,
You chase life-prime to the wave. ,
Sipping youth and strength with a pose.,
to sure unconfined grave.
:;

dear death, in such beauty disguised. ,
in such love apparel thrive.
 have  our chastely youths diseased.
with lust,  and pangs and strife.
