Stung by a scorpion

by anonymous lover   Mar 16, 2009


Stung right in the heart
The poison spreads in me,
Destroying all its art
That keeps from being free.

deluded sight of passion,
not discerning what I see,
leaving him access to
the heart with golden key.

A key to make it end
this gamble of desire,
he conceals, all his cards
caught with sudden scarlet fire.

Nights of blazing numbness
When he has left and goes,
Prepared to sting the others
with traits of little roes..

The toxin black and oozy
Pouring through my vein,
then reaching to my lungs,
and ending in my brain.

Spreading in my body
No antidote subsists,
Slowly killing consummately
That I can not resist.

Commencing with convulsions
my heart's speed no more in place,
some sudor weeping down
due the fire in my face.

Dampened by the venom
taking all control of me,
soon belonging to the bygone
when my soul has become free.

Once full of lover's passion
A black mark left on my lips,
Lips that he used to bend to,
To leave a little kiss.

    Great poem, i really dug all the vivid wording my favorite stanza is:

    The toxin black and oozy
    Pouring through my vein,
    then reaching to my lungs,
    and ending in my brain

    the way you decribe the affects of
    the poison in this whole poem is breath taking.
