Spider Woman

So, you try and slash the ties
The bonds connecting your body and mind.
But they prove to be too much; those snake eyes.
And soon, against your will you find
that you are caught in the ties, in the web, in the net.
That this spider woman has kissed you
detached you, separated you from your own silhouette.
This woman has become your apple of Peru –
Beautiful and deceptive, yet intoxicating.
You know all of this, yet you cannot refrain
From letting yourself feel this spider woman’s sting.
No more dignity, for all that can remain –
Is this spider woman’s intensely derailing kiss
And your descent into the deepening abyss.
