Deadly Beast

her eyes the door
guarding the way
to nevermore
that frigid gaze


her lips inviting
the gate to Hell
her kiss consuming
my final cell


so beautiful
so deceitful
so obscuring
so luring


her heart my prison
in deepest damnation
where demons have risen
ensuring my cremation


her arms my chains
locking me away
bound to my pains
until my sanity frays.
