Cyanid
That girl is poison Your heart trapped by desire She seems really sweet Yet she burns you like fire A vision in white With long flowing hair You know she's trouble But still you don't care She beckons you forward She says "taste my lips" Revealing her bosom Guides your hands to her hips Her magic fills you A pathway to death Once you taste Cyanide She takes away your breath

Sometimes what we desire most is that which is the worst for us. Well done.

Hah! I have a feeling from the smiles within the framework of you poem that you'll die a happy, contented man.

An old Hip Hop song in the early 90s: Poison by Bell Biv Devoe...very fitting for this piece and a damn great song. Toxic, poisonous girls, no thank you. Dated a few, no regrets. But, never again. Nicely written. :)
