Analysis of "entice"
Drift away on sheets of white linen,
soft angel eyes, the sky's the limit.
Dream of chateaus on French countrysides.
Kayla, with you I do confide.
I am your servant, sworn butler,
at your service my Lady lover.
I walk on coals to lay down my arms,
Starshine, for a taste of your charms.
I am your white caterpillar,
stark from the night, quite so debonair,
a furry little beast calling you,
from worlds away with nothing to do.
Except to transform shedding skin,
spurring thine awakenings from within,
wings forming to sing, "I'll be your star,"
your butterfly flown avatar.
