Jezebel

Herein lies the power of my kind
To amuse you with my tongue,
Confuse you with my mind

You ban me from your churches
For I love passion more than prayer
You curse the sweetness in my name
Until I lay weeping in my lair

You deny the want in your loins
When I dance in the light of the stars
You admire my body and my skin
Blind and ignorant of the scars

You wake up in the corners of my mouth
My scent covering your skin
I am your greatest passion
I am your greatest sin

I am the space in women’s soul
They keep for desire unspoken
I am their goddess and their queen
Although they declare me broken

I am the undying mistress of your being
The balance between your heaven and your hell
You call me whore; you brand me slut
I call myself Jezebel
