Beauty dark...A dark poem
Under a diamond sky
Your beauty enthrals
So many willing to die
For the lure of your call
Soft white ivory skin
Hair red like flame
Your smile pulling me in
Your heart too wild to tame
Like so many before
I can’t resist your dance
Nymph of the forest floor
Effortlessly weaving your trance
Lost in the unknown
I see nothing but your beauty
The call of reason long flown
As I fall to lust’s duty
But with each passionate touch
I see more and more of you
Screaming as it becomes too much
Unable to deny what’s true
Under the full moons light
Your beauty fades away
Your rotten smile filling my sight
My senses overwhelmed with decay
Horror replacing sweet dream
Still I move at you command
My only resistance in my screams
Unable to ever understand
With one last kiss
You turn away clad in false beauty
The taste of death on your glistening lips
Leaving me forgotten and empty….
