Devil Woman
Her touch is velvet laced with poison
Evil grows where she walks
She is known by many names
Devil woman will strip your heart of feeling
Your mind of reason
Leaving you unborn, a golem
You live only for her will to move your body
To fetch and carry, to guard her when she sleeps
Safeguarding her vulnerability, her Achilles heel.
You can be saved by one who loves you
Who dares to enter during those hours of darkness
To kiss your broken body back to life…
I had to chuckle since this poem reminded me of my ex-wife. Good one, Anita.
