Gorgeous and Deadly

__________________________________


eastward the warm rain fell
through the Mediterranean

cradled in her love I stood
drenched in a bath of redemption 

with purity in solemn prayer
her white pedals folded in psalm
my  gracious beauty lie
delicate in appealing death
my pure silken Oleander 
how I morn for your pain

as dawns love is birthed in simple hymn
I see our future distant above the trees
beyond clouds of doubt 
succulent in satisfaction 

though.... in my mind
I curse your sinful warmth
for your passion plays as a theatrical love story
of deception and lie

I lay silent in your dream
my breath heavy
my heart racing without control

I have fallen unknowingly
I have slipped into loves grasp
my death has now come in sorrow
as my soul screams in hateful rage....
