inside the web

look at the sheets
Silken and perfumed
You held me inside
their sweet prison.

Night song and Jasmine
Permeated the night air.
Inside the cloisters of your web
I awaited quietly
for your attention.

Held as a fly in the
spinning wiles of a spiders web.
Helpless and bound
in silk strands
stronger than any chains.

Was I the entertainment?
That relieves boredom
In one of such abject beauty?
You would taunt me
Use me for your needs
Even your kisses held secrets.

Yet I craved them
Beyond my own meagre life.
The need of you pungent
In pheromones of desire.

I knew you would eat me
When you tired of me
I knew the pain
would be greater
than I could stand.

Yet in my abyss of the heart
I wanted to end it with you.
For such powerful creatures
of exquisite beauty.
That is beyond description.
Are far above
the disposable likes of me.

Yet for a fleeting moment.
Just before you pierced my heart.
With your deadly talons.and I died.
I know beyond all doubt
and above uncertainty.
That for a passing
tick of the clock
just for one moment
You needed me
