Tango with A Monster

I’m dancing tango with a monster disguised as a man

He’s leaking sweat, his eyes shine black, his face is tan

 

This is indeed a foggy hot-aired place

My red lipstick left a mark on his face

 

His arms are firmly wrapped around my waste

The monster inside of him let me taste

 

The sweet aggression in his eyes fixed to mine

His lips are gold; he breathes fire and wine

 

As my waste twirls like a fitting key

That opens the door to the monster inside of me

 

He pushes me down to the angle before my death

Then he pulls me up right before my last breath

 

The trumpets scream as I run to his arms

The arms of a criminal that mean no harm

 

The devil in his grip tastes bittersweet

I step on his toe revealing deceit

 

He becomes agonized; there is fire in his blood

His pushing me backwards feels like drowning in a flood

 

He keeps on stomping until I smash to the wall

His violent movements make me feel so small

 

So I kick my red heel right above his shoulder

He feels my power, his anger very smoldered

 

 

I am the tiger, I feed my cubs, I keep the hearth warm

He senses my ravishing lightening starting a storm

 

The storm is strong, the floor’s wet with sweat

His eyes kill me with hatred, love, and regret

 

 I’m dying for he chokes me with swirls

As I dizzily rotate, I abandon my world

 

He has won, he’s taking full control and power

He’s making guns and knives out of a flower

 

I have danced my first and last dance with the vicious beast

  He has murdered my body; I am now his victorious feast

Wow, this is full of deep, dark symbolism and although poetry isn't my strong point, this is really, really good!
