Death wore a glamorous mask, death wore a beautiful dress Death gave him one night of pleasure, death gave him an empty sex life full of regret When he met her, she was the life of the party Promiscuous and bewitchingly fly Had men and women flocking all around her, but those pretty birds weren't on the menu that night She was a tigress in the club jungle, feline with one painted striped eye He didn't know he was her prey, that death on high heels had chosen him to die She stalked him, then caught him on the dance floor Whispered seductive things in his ear She said her name was Chimera, and she offered carnal desires most men couldn't ignore He got swept up in the heat of passion, then led away to her private hotel lair She urged him to come inside her, and coaxed him to scream her name She said she wanted him to remember that night, because he would never see her again Death wore a deadly disguise that night, death came in the form of a femme fatale Death brought him a lifetime of pain, once he laid down on that bed straight from hell

Sex has always had its good and bad points, but in this present time and age things seem to have gone from bad to worse. One night stands are common and riddled with hidden dangers. It is wise of you to bring this topic to readers' attention, Freddie. Regards // paul

C'mon Rick. I know you're not that naive to think so-called safe sex can prevent someone from get one of these sexual pestilences. There are more than one type of sexual interaction and you know this. A rubber, please!!! And people mock me for having faith in God. People have faith in a rubber. That is laughable if it wasn't so tragic. Love you though, bro.

So clever and I don't know if it was supposed to, but it made me laugh. I like the imagery. Your friend, Janet

Hi Freddie, This is a relevant write on a serious topic. One night of pleasure can cause one their life if they're not careful. Good metaphors as well-Alexis

Ty Alexis. People get wrapped up in sex too much. Get themselves hurt in a bad way. Tragic. Appreciate the love, dear. Ty for the love and support. Much love to you. RW
