Sorci

You lay there in the gloom, in the doom

Watching and quietly waiting
You offer your tears as crystals pure
To the hapless weak who take the lure
And in you drag them, smiling and fine
To your cove where there is naught day
Drive them mad, and into slavery
To do what calls for your bidding
You weave such intricacies in your web
That it leaves them quite astounded
Poor souls, they think the threads go tight
To keep the warmth, and thaw the chill
For they are too blind to find a flaw
In such perfection that you wove
Men are weak and helpless fools
When blinded by their passion
Few emerge, once prepared to go
Where fruits are most forbidden
And so you weave and wait and see
For still other opportune moments
Fortuitous is he who comes to believe
That you are, but the Garden of Eden.

Sreedevi.
