Demise of My Spirit

Eyes, which are open wide at the beginning of our meet,
They soon start to take an upturn shape as I look in deep.
I soon dread what I vision in within the darkness that drips.
From every deep crevice of her brown colored gaze.
Her glaring stance envelops my mind and soul it seems,
Her amazing embodiment takes my soul to the ground.
My spirit is seen to be floating around waiting for a touch,
Why am I mesmerized by her dark beauty is it a curse.
Or is it my destiny to be enticed into the gripping evil,
An evil that is truly indescribable, though in my words.
I shall try to enhance your thoughts of what I face.
She at times has a face that is graciously sweet and soft.
Other times her face is a vision of ugliness and disgust.
I know and feel that once she has me in her grips.
My face and eyes will be ruptured along with my lips.
She now gravity feeds my body into her devouring jaws.
With the power of demons, her hands shall grow claws.
Ripping my flesh from every part of recognizable carcass,
Undecipherable I know my disguise shall become forever.
Listing within the cortex of life and death, my soul will falter.
I await now the deceit and uncomfortable demise of my spirit.

What a dark image. I especially like the line, "Her amazing embodiment takes my soul to the ground." I've known people to whom I have given the power to take my soul to the ground. The end seems a little weak. It seems that the demise of one's spirit should be more than uncomfortable. There must be a better word for that experience. I really enjoyed the poem, though. Your best I've read so far.

Her mesmerizing beauty and concealed intent make for a gripping read, Cecil. Sometimes we think we see beauty on the outside, but soon detect the evil within. Very compelling! Great work, Cecil. Love, Carolyn

Whoa. This is almost like something out of a Stephen King novel. Maybe my imagination just took over me, but wow, sounds like an alluring evil nightmarish fantasy. Pretty creepy, and for some reason I love the write. Extremely captivating. Love, Shar
