Poetry

Venom, Slow and Sweet

Posted by Joy Nibbs on

I am poison

Slow and sweet

Desire

Take me under

Take me slow

Mellow in my soul

Sweetness in the sheets

I want to feel you

As you drown

Let me watch your despair

Of wanting what you may never know

Of feelings that are too complex for your soul

I hope you pray at night

For deliverance

From me

I am poison

Slow and sweet

Sweet dreams

May your slow demise take your breath away
