Spellbound

peto

As midnight struck all hallows eve

With evil dripping off the sleeve 

You caught me as I tried to leave 

And help me with your stare

 

Spellbound in awe of your advance 

The wink that beckoned me to dance 

Destroyed my last remaining chance 

Of side stepping your lair

 

Seated alongside causeless martyrs 

Nibbling on my heart for starters 

Guts adorn your legs as garters

Blood red knee length hair 

 

A pain so dark it renders blind 

Lassoed free spirit knotted mind 

Each agony played on rewind 

Broken beyond repair 

 

You left as quickly as you came 

The pawn sacrificed in your game 

Will never truly be the same 

Since meeting hell's au pair

    "martyrs/starters, what a great rhyming pair! Love this rhyme scheme, it is my personal favorite, can be hard to do! But this poem was grand and I love all your poems but this was an extra special story and difficulty level. Awesome!

      Can't express my gratitude enough
      Many thanks

      Magic! "The wink that beckoned me to dance", in a trance! Exquisite, but evil? It's like you go back and forth, while still enjoying the play! A one time experience! Unable to repeat? Love this!!!
