~ Murder in the First Degree ~

She carried his love
deep inside.
But his feelings for her
would soon subside.
And a taste of Amber
made him crave for more.
The married bliss
had become a bore.
And unborn babes
would he gladly trade
for freedom affairs
for new tirades
He plotted to rid
his loathesome life
of the father role
and his doting wife
He wanted no holds
that would bind his time,
so he plotted and planned
a crime so fine.
The perfect murder
or so he thought.
the anchors he made,
the Boat he bought.
To throw her in
and tie her down
beneath the sea,
the bottom ground.
Her body bore the brunt of tides,
of hungry fish, and algae slime.
Alas, her torso pulled forth free,
washed ashore for all to see.
Her headless body
her unborn babe
the months of horror
in that watery grave.
How could a love
so perfect and grand
resort to this
from what began ?
So he was caught
and he was tried
they found him guilty
they knew he lied.
And what a waste
of a beatiful lace
that charming woman
with the beautiful face.
The little babe
that never saw day
the sorrowful moment
he threw away -
And now his freedom is less than life
less than the boredom of his beautiful wife.
He pays for trading his very soul
for a life of passion
that he'll never know
