Tempted
Sin never dies,
never's contained nor coffined,
gypsies about, courts desire;
mortal or venial, a coo.
Black slit eyes, dark shadows
watch for the slightest waver,
beaded pearls, flickering light,
a wicked smile, disguised,
stirs the heart
of wide-eyed innocence;
tempted.

This was too late to add to, but I used their prompt: dVerse Poets Pub - Poetics: "its not that scary"
