A Skillful Scorpion She..
You have a way with the blade
sweet mistress mine
a darksome, tender touch
that lowers
the twitching corpse
of my heart
gently to the floor
with scarce a sound.
I didn't feel a thing
the sting
that I expected
the cold and creeping death
of our love at your hands
that I suspected
never bitter burned in me
so skillfully soft
was your stoke.
And now
what other yeilding victim
do you seek
seductive and smooth
your satin lips
your swaying hips
the bait.
I'll lie here
and bleed colorlessly
no need to raise a fuss
just now.
Someone will come along
to examine the remains
and I will tell the tale
pehaps too late
but make my fate known
along with the identity
of my loving assassin.
