Spectre

From trembling scorn stained lips, ashen cheek tear-streaked from woe. Jealousies' rancid inheritance, mournful Banshees’ eternal concerto Feigned compassion mists a dead smile, Innuendos' bitterest honeyed embrace. Breath tinged with your poisoned reprieve Sirens symphony of shameful disgrace Bronzed skin glistens tarnished, Sun spun curls chlorine sheened. Carnal fantasies careen off her flesh, on Harpies' wings, your spirit eternally gleaned. Bosom panting gently, nightmare in disguise, Pestilence whispered sweetly, caution finally thrown. Gazing into cyclone eyes you feel the sentiment grow, Forever in her Medusan stare your soul now cast in stone.
