The Queen of Passion

Creamy satin merges from her neck 
Daunting eyes 
Though glass window views
Here in her tall castle of desire 
While she waits 
Crystal, and china, 
He was but another woman’s fire  
The countless dreams 
Lay on beds of screams 
And in the longest of hours, he did return ,depleted 
Of the lust and passion she longed for 
And she waits 
But her weakness for the gems she polished 
Give no meaning to the abolished 
Appetite she craved 
And she waits 
And he wrapped her in red roses of plenty 
And  the smiles and promises he couldn’t keep
He was weak 
And she waits 
No more, with a black velvet cloak over her shoulder 
She rode into the night 
With fire at her breast 
And the smoke that did smolder, from her hair that rustled in the wind 
Down to the door of another 
Eyes met, locked in a heat 
Bearing down below her feet 
Came a bewildered spouse
Tore the neck of her blouse 
With a violet end
There in the bend, the blood did flow like a river 
Where he stood there with a shiver 
Red running on his fingers 
Numb and astounded 
She lay there, in color of red roses 
As she poses, died
