la femme mauvaise

sneaky and
subtle she
listens to
my thoughts
absorbs the
desires and
fantasies i
keep just
below the
surface of
my heart

la femme
mauvaise
uses my
very words
against me
giving each
and every
charnel urge
to confuse
my strategy
and emerge
with victory

soft spoken
and quick
with her
smile
i am to be
easily
disarmed

but a king
is rarely
dethroned
my mind
spins

nice to
see you
again
