Scorpion

Intense and brooding
watching and waiting
investigating and searching
toying and playing
with your affections
manipulation and copulation
baying at the moon.

Stinger ready
passion plenty
spinning its web
of lies and deception
a form of manipulation
just to get her way.

The huntress
seeing her prey
taking her time
of its final display
its unexpected attack
devouring the flesh
without remorse
the passionate killer
a Scorpion of course!
