Voodoo Woman

She's got wickedness in her eyes
and enticement in her stride
those curves, hips and thighs,
have them all hypnotized
she is men's weakness
and without any effort
she mesmerizes them with her features
how cruel is it?
how cruel is it of God to create such a beautiful creature?
a beautiful creature with intentions to cajole;
she will read you beautiful poetry
and then take your soul.

What is it about her,
that's got all the guys enchanted?
What curses did she rehearse?
What spells has she chanted?

I walked up to her, I screamed, I yelled,
and I demanded,
"Voodoo woman, voodoo priestess,
I beg of you to tell me,
I've gotta know your secret.
Is it your sex that's a hex?
are you the reason why, so many women "y's" become "x's"

Voodoo woman,
what are your sources?
There's something I need to be reckoned with,
you and all your forces.
I need to know your plans, what are you conjuring?
You've got to tell me why the guys
think you're so astonishing."

The Voodoo woman
smirks at me with a twinkle in her eye,
and suddenly, I get the urge
to charm a handsome guy. ;)

Author's Note
I am from Louisiana, where a lot of talk about Voodoo is a BIG THING. I come from a Creole background, with a family history of practicing magic. I am a spiritual being and do believe in the power of healing through such magic. Only to be used for good, the poem is strictly on an imaginary basis. Just showing some creativity! ;)
