 Masculine hands, with muscular limbs

 

                        tongue tied and beautifully hung, you  

 

                            fell victim to my selfish bliss, finally

 

                   trapped by my love that was woven and spun, I

 

         caught you within my web of silkened sheets

 

              held in bondage to be my dessert, your

 

                         martyred lips are mine alone to unravel, I'll

 

                         kiss it all better, never mind it might hurt

 

                                each gasp for breath shows your unrest

                    

                sorry my love for the tangled up mess

 

                            your chest cocooned within my embrace, its

 

                              pointless to fight the blackwidows fate, 

 

                    I'll eat you up slow.....

 

                  starting first, with your sweet decadent face.

I have nothing against a little B&D. Even a little S&M. Willing to explore many other letters too, but this takes it to such a wonderfully new level... Oh. Yes. Sorry, I'm back and not behaving any more. You have created here a true lure, that keeps mine eye's returning again and again. Partly because of the sheer quality of it. The texture of the language has a silken sensuality and sexuality of it that holds you. And frankly, I'm turned on something rotten by it. As I said befoer..... way down to the marrow

Wonderful use of words and symbolism....Imaginative,maybe a bit uncanny but thats the beauty of the poem.Hope this is a work of fiction.

If I were an old man with a bad heart, this is how I'd want to go!

Could easily have been the words of an ex... thirty plus years ago. Could have eaten her alive, once upon a time. Now, four years after the split, I wish I had. ;)

Such a sensuous send-off. Can't imagine anything portraying the kiss of the widow better. Very well done...

I think the praying mantis is brilliant in her ways...the black widow..just learned a thing or two..

[Mic]

True, the mantis is more a devourer of the flesh, whereas the widow is content with draining only life.

Well, dear Muse, shame on you for playing with that beautifully shy man. Men do,(more often than men care to admit), become "martyred" to the passions they find in a woman. Still, can we blame the spider for being a creature of it's nature? I think this "well hung", "tongue tied" victim died happy... Dead nontheless.
Did I mention that spiders are the most frightening creatures on earth? Ha
Great pen that you are stinging with my dear!

[Muse]

not all spiders are poisonous. ;)

spinning her web...she can be a death grip if you let her...nice work on this poem Muse....

[Sirius King]

loved every line...great write

[poeticpiers]

No need to worry about unfaithful mates..Black widows are secure in the knowledge that it is impossible

Sexuality can be soft or it can be rough...this obviously is an unabashed journey into the latter. It doesn't mean that the "love" element has to take a hit, but "love" as a word is often used as connotation for sex, particularly casual or flat-out rough sex. I've read it a couple of times and for me, the very reference to love only serves to amplify the element of raw sex. But of course, this is purely my own interpretation. Really powerful piece however you slice it :)

[Deeper La'jik]

a stunning masterpiece.

[DarknessPeering]

A dark decadence...I fall into her silky web.
