The Deadly, Fatal Kiss Of The Spider Woman

After she drank his bitter wine of selfish, pathetic love

She slyly sang him her haunted chant

"The laughs on you", she crooned in her soft malicious tune

 

At times, she could act with chicane

She had many charms when treated well...

Deadly ones - when not

Oh yes...

She herself may at times have sinned

But he-had the stain of evil, paltry love

 

Now...Inside her gossamer labyrinth she lay

Carefully, diligently spinning her web

Revealing nothing-and everything

She'd weave her silky snare inside his heart

Laying her toxic eggs of betrayed despair

Spinning her poisonus venom of painful truth

 

Oh yes...

Her bite is deadly now

She could have been his 'Velvet Rose'

But, he crushed her petals rare

Ending her silken dreams

With his evil malicious schemes

Her spider's web became untethered

Attaching itself by a single thread

To his shoddy veil of evil, selfish love

Now...She is the hunter

And...He is the hunted

In the coming eve...

She'd deliver her poisonous, lethal sting

He'd be noones's lover now

Her threads would cut his miserable flesh

Her deadly venom would seal his fate

Remaining nothing more

Than an ancient, slithering shadow

All along the castle walls

 

For some time a deadly secret she doth keep

"Revenge”, she whispers, while he sleeps

She was once his only lady

With ivory skin and beauty fair

She fed him nectar from her raven hair

His betrayal seared her hemorrhaged heart

She'd warned him with many words and fiery stares

 

"Thou shalt not indulge in wicked fare

Be ever so watchful, do not betray

Beware, where thou heart doth leave

Take heed" said she, "Just who thy seed deceives".

 

In her chamber dark at night, this maiden fair

Planned his demise with scourged nectar, bitter sweet

Stirring her venomous, poisonous treat

Or would dagger to his heart she’d plant

Bid him die a dark and painful lingering death

Upon his sleeping body that she'd leave

As she crept silently into his chamber -

These words she bitterly but victoriously said...

 

"Thou shalt betray no more.

Thou has sinned against me...

Taken my love in shame

"Betray no more", she said".

But now

Thou is thankfully, forever DEAD!"

 

Her silken threads had cut his miserable flesh

Her deadly venom had sealed his fate

Now...he remained nothing more

Than an ancient, slithering shadow...

All along her castle walls
