Love Poem: The Widow
Larry Belt Avatar
Written by: Larry Belt

The Widow

The temptress searches the earth
For another victim to slay
She slowly weaves her web
Her feast awaits the prey

With her beauty, as her bait
And love, her poison of choice
Her victim begs for mercy
But she doesn't hear his voice

No matter how hard he tries
His screams will go unheard
She kills without emotion
Not uttering a single word

No hope to ever escape
Forever to be her slave
Until the widow chooses
To make her web, his grave

And now, her deed is done
Just like the one before
Another victim arrives
It all begins, once more
