If I Am Stuck With You Ill Die

Duty, demands, delaying desires.
Destiny, shoves you off, at the precipices
Of life’s uncertain edges.

Karmic outcomes now direct decisions;
Life issues us temporary bivouacs,
that leaves us vulnerable to its storms.
Destiny alters desires –
Even the most well-made plans
Of hearts, minds, flesh, and souls.
The spider’s web has caught his lover:

Suddenly he wanted not to eat her but to love her
an appetite for reluctance falls over him.
When the beautiful ladybug, was stranded
In the spider’s net. 
He only wanted to wed her.
She pleaded to be devoured, by him.
If I am stuck with you, I’ll die slowly
‘Suck my insides out”
And leave my shell,
this is what you really want.

“These your plans,
have been overwhelmed, by my beauty.
Yet, you have no way to feed me, nor set me free.
Just eat me, and I will be inside of you,
and my carcass shall adorn your web.
