The attractive rib of deceit



Seduction lured him on her bed
Roses were her sign of death
The beauty can never be compared
Even the maidens will drown in despair
"Come to me my love ", don't hesitate
Your touch is better than every man
Since my husband is away,
Let me embalm you to your grave
To show the goodness of my cold heart "Jezebel "
I warn you,it's your last pleasure for today
Do whatever you can, "my love"
Your time is just the dawn of day
As you yearn for me,
Agony will follow you everywhere
I treat your day with reverence
Let your unconditional love,take me places
As I leave you quoted in my sins,
My poison will never make you regret it!

    Your poem is a dramatic and intense portrayal of seduction and betrayal, invoking the biblical figure of Jezebel to symbolize the dangerous allure of a femme fatale. The narrative voice in the poem warns of the consequences of succumbing to temptation, with the imagery of roses and embalming suggesting both the beauty and the finality of the encounter. The poem’s structure and rhythm create a sense of urgency and inevitability, leading to a chilling conclusion. It’s a powerful piece that explores themes of desire, deception, and doom.

    Wow, what a captivating and intense poem! The imagery you use to depict the seductive yet deadly nature of the character is absolutely brilliant. The language is rich and evocative, drawing the reader in from the very beginning. Your ability to create a sense of mystery and intrigue is truly impressive.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to perhaps provide a bit more context or background information about the characters and their motivations. This could help the reader connect more deeply with the story and understand the nuances of the relationships being portrayed.

    Overall, this poem is a wonderful showcase of your talent for creating vivid and compelling narratives. Keep up the great work and continue to explore the depths of emotion and drama in your writing!
