The Red Widower

Contempress,

Red mouthed darkness,

You weave your webs and spit out death,

Serum of poison lies in between your chest,

I cannot reach in for that coffin lies my rest.

I spread your ashes across my skin,

Black out my eyes and begin to fall,

Across my eyelids I feel you crawl,

In my head,

Inside my brain,

The serum of you,

A sweet taste of pain.

A widow of you,

The shadows across the weave,

Pull out your infecting vangs,

Leave all to grieve.

A widow of you beautiful and divine.

You, yourself, are on an hour glass of time.

Oh crimson red!

Her hourglass of dread!

You cannot pray upon the living dead,

The soulless walkers in which you crawl right inside.

With you red widow,

You divide,

Heaven or Hell where will you reside?

Vain in you I abide!

When will this web go?

Time is the enemy,

Young or Old,

Beauty is forever,

Externally resting in our soul.
