Caught in her web


*look at the sheets
Silken and perfumed
You held me inside
their sweet prison.

Night song and Jasmine
Permeated the night air.
Inside the cloisters of your web
I awaited quietly
for your attention.

Held as a fly in the
spinning wiles of a spiders web.
Helpless and bound
in silk strands
stronger than any chains.

Was I the entertainment?
That relieves boredom
In one of such abject beauty?
You would taunt me
Use me for your needs
Even your kisses held secrets.

Yet I craved them
Beyond my own meagre life.
The need of you pungent
In pheromones of desire.

I knew you would eat me
When you tired of me
I knew the pain
would be greater
than I could stand.

Yet in my abyss of the heart
I wanted to end it with you.
For such powerful creatures
of exquisite beauty.
That is beyond description.
Are far above
the disposable likes of me.

Yet for a fleeting moment.
Just before you pierced my heart.
With your deadly talons.and I died.
I know beyond all doubt
and above uncertainty.
That for a passing
tick of the clock
just for one moment
You needed me
