Touch Me Not...

Slightly salty, slightly stray,
A little spicy too.
Temptress clad with mystery,
Touch me not, you may pursue.
Watch your dreams,
I set them on fire.
Silk around my body,
May spark your desire.
Purple nights, sober days,
The frenzy surrounding my skin.
Touch me not,
Let our breath rock like a violin.

Smoking-sizzling, take my senses on an alluring stroll.
Touch me not, just arrest my vivacious soul.
