Hugs

Nothing will sway you like a song from a siren
Draw you into a disaster like alcohol or drugs
Put gambler’s gain within your greedy grasp
Or keep you from the gates of hell like hugs

Thanks to Trifecta for this week’s prompt: sway (third definition as always)!

Shun

The siren’s pen beckons for affection
Drawing you close by his direction
With the promise of confection
And no sense of deception
Or feeling rejection
Only election
To elation
Perfection
Erect
Shun?
