The Deadly Kiss Of The Spider Woman

After she drank his bitter wine of pathetic love

She slyly sang him her haunted song

 

“The laughs on you” she said

 

At times she could act with chicane

She had her deadly charms

 

Oh yes…

 

She may have sinned

But he…

Had the selfish stain of paltry love

 

Now…

 

Inside her gossamer labyrinth she lay

Carefully, diligently spinning her fatal web

 

Revealing nothing…

And everything!

 

She’d weave her silky snare inside his heart

Laying her eggs of despair

Spinning her poisonous venom of painful truth

 

Her bite is deadly now…

 

She could have been his velvet rose

But he crushed her petals rare

He cruelly ended her silken dreams

 

Her spider’s web became untethered

Attaching itself by a single lethal thread

To his shoddy veil of selfish love

 

Now…

 

She is the hunter

Not the hunted

He taught his lesson well

 

In the coming eve

She’d deliver her virulent sting

 

He’d be no one’s lover now

Her threads would cut his miserable flesh

Her deadly venom would seal his fate

 

Remaining nothing more…

Than an ancient slithering shadow of his former self

 

Be gone now…

“You’ll betray no more”, she said

Too Hard Landing Last stanzas are very nice, connected with the original incident with fantasy of Wild Love...To Finish All. Great Lines.....

Way too mellow...

THIS could have heat and colder than hell scorn...
