Predators Pray

I love our story

There is nothing hotter
than hell

There is nothing peaceful
about sex

There is no justice
in love

Every day I will break another heart
and I will bathe your beauty
in their blood

I will find the world’s most lovely
innocent trusting
pretty little poet playthings

and I will seduce them
with the images I imagine
with you in mind

I will captivate them
with compliments
I can only conjure
when considering
your dark deceptive countenance
your caramel cream complexion
your complexities

I will enthrall them deeply
with diabolically misdirected descriptions

I will dangle them loftily
from the cloud that floats buoyantly
with my love of you

I will place them
upon your pedestal

I will set them high
among the lights of your stars

and they will fall
these fools

and you, my love
shall delight
in their folly

I bait the end of all pretenders
May they cling to a cliff

May they cry
all their lives
till they die
despised in your eyes

May their mutinies
bring them misery

May you consider
their damnation

their eternal confusion

their permanent place
as a predator’s prey

for a moment

then smile
with your thankless fangs
my love

I shall slither hither
your unrepentant serpent servant

I work
lurk
worth all the dirt
on earth

Take like a snake

A lover is a hunter
who knows only hunger
and ache
