I am the helpless, wingéd fly whose thirst For nectar draws me close to your steel cell Where once imprisoned, death drapes me; the first I’m not to fall before your binding spell. For many men in vain your kiss pursued But sadly, your false kiss bore life’s mishap With slumberous poison in your chasms brewed You marred their hearts for you’re the Venus trap, The beast whose luring nectars lovers draw, Tormentor whose first weapon is your sweets, Whose second is the power of your jaw, And all the poison that your heart secretes! Of your dark deeds, to others, I’ll impart So they won’t be allured to your black heart!

A Sonnet
I am the helpless, wingéd fly whose thirst For nectar draws me close to your steel cell Where once imprisoned, death drapes me; the first I’m not to fall before your binding spell. For many men in vain your kiss pursued But sadly, your false kiss bore life’s mishap With slumberous poison in your chasms brewed You marred their hearts for you’re the Venus trap, The beast whose luring nectars lovers draw, Tormentor whose first weapon is your sweets, Whose second is the power of your jaw, And all the poison that your heart secretes! Of your dark deeds, to others, I’ll impart So they won’t be allured to your black heart!
