Title: Addiction (Sonnet Version)
Type: Poetry
(Original) Prompt: Pick an inanimate object and make it come alive without using personification.

Disclaimer: Poem written by tao_empress and should not be submitted stating otherwise.
Notes: Previous re-written in sonnet form because I needed to write a sonnet for class. :P

You creep and crawl and waver in the air
And dance your slithery seduction.
How you entice me with such impish care
And slowly bring me to my own destruction.
You swish and sweep and slide along my skin
With the burning spark centered at your root.
You caress my gentle curves like a dark sin,
And steal my breath til it’s completely mute
Revolving in your oh so tempting song,
You leave the scent of your perfume behind,
Letting it linger long after you are gone,
And leave me to trudge through all the grime.
     Igniting my muse with a flicker, a flame,
     I reach out and long to have you back again
