Moonflower Of Maleficent Magnificence
Ah, luminous white she blooms a deceptive ghost
lover of dark arts of charisma and night
moon seducer logic diffuser defense reducer
user of dreams abuser of romance
tempter-serpent twines and vines —
slither noiselessness
vanilla viper she’s a fever teaser
—damn well make you a heartbreak believer
celestial and terrestrial she’s a territorial force
spider-veined lightning sizzles cross neuronal nebulae
firework-fantasies flicker behind your glister eyes
desire —a brush fire— engulfs your cerebral star fields
razing you to burn to the soil beneath your skin
you yearn to pluck her play her possess her
place her in a solitary bud vase
share your lust of ardor with hungry admiration
resist the thirst of your hands to touch
resist the airy lariat of her buttercream-spice
resist the thirst of your taste buds to baste in her taste
as honey-whines drip from her summer-wine lips
poised in parted pout to poison you
physical and ethereal she wears an imperial crown
she steals your stars and flaunts them in her eyes
dare her when she unfurls– a swan against black satin
she’ll wrestle your heart from your chest
burst it with pin-prick-pupils of scorn
save it in her cat’s paw purse for her verse
before she mousetraps your bleats and mercy pleas
within the mantrap of her parasol pleats
leaving you alone to skin your soul
to mend the hole where your old self ends
and your new self melts into moans you now own
