The Lioness

Such sweet
Untainted innocence
Pure
As snow quilted plains
Oh,
Do these eyes deceive?
Beneath placid gems
Hidden
Under shadow
Beats the heart 
Of a lioness
Luring in the unsuspecting
Irresistable control
Over unassuming prey
Drawn in by gentleness
Ensnared
By warmth 
Of darkness
Victims
Of her sweet
Untainted Innocence.
