Enchantress

By Kashmira Murmu

Young

She was wild

She was an incarnation

Of the divine

Sensuous and seductive

Her every step

Spoke attraction

And danger hidden under the slice

She was clever

Was she not humorous?

Every move she made

Was treacherous

She was a mystic being

A woman

Drenched in honey wings

She knew what was right

Just for herself

She was a queen

Of her own abode

She was

An enchantress
