Bottles as Object of Seduction

i know of a famous seductress,
a dilution of elements she is.

& she lives in caves, & seals,
yet, many go in unto her.
this seductress has colour of sorts, & her abode could be found in variants; some rotund, some smooth, some shapely, yet, all has a clear neck.
she has sourness in her, at times though, she's sweetened, yet, no matter her state,
many go in unto her.
to devour, to satiate, to be pregnant of her.
this seductress has her store,
in the parks,
sometimes, you find her at the markets,
yet, often, she jiggles her dazzling charm
at festivities of diverse forms.

& this lad keeps wondering: how many find her laps more soothing
than the comely bosoms of nature.
why treat with disdain that which feeds us with love? all because of the ecstacy
found in the seductress?
oh! she numbs our hearts ripping?
yet, at break of light, the contents of our head is stirred up in a circle.
circle: of curses, gnashes, & even at times
fisticuffs with the devil we lulled to our sides.

see: i tell you verily, i have this seductress resting in a coffin beside me,
perchance, i might have to numb something too, one day.
& if you must know, nature's bosom drips in my parched throat now.
