She's a harmless poison

She's a harmless poison.
safe as a nun, deadly as a snake,
so, why should i run?
Sweet as cake, my heart
just waiting to take,
and put on a stake.
no...
She's a harmless poison.
bright as the sun, dark as the night,
so, why should i run?
She is my delight, my heart
and eyesight
she steals away with spite.
no...
She's a harmless poison.
guaranteed to leave breathless,
but impossible to shun...
...she's harmless....
...poison.

titillating death paradox in one dose of harmless poison .. hopefully im alive to knock at your door again lol

ahh the rhyme scheme that pops all the parameters and streams straight through with exotic flair~ love this flavor of composition~use it often myself~ that delicious rhythmic pulse undeniably gets under the skin in the best of ways!~ the repetition gives it added spice~ the dual nature of the sinous subject matter is fabulously presented~ excellent poetic fare!~

Love the unique rhyme scheme and pattern you use here, along with the repetition in each stanza. What you write about is great too. The paradoxical/oxymoronical(I don't think that's a legitimate form of oxymoron) concept of a "harmless poison" and a person that is both sweet and sour was fun to read and see the back and forth in poem's voice.
