Bleed

A smattering of dew
Darkens the blade of grass
Evergreen.
Petal red lips moistened
Kisses like precious rubies
Velvet
Sorrow clouds crimson eyes
Breathless she captivates
Rapture
Steep this lust
Plunging
Expunged
She lay sure
In her fear
Waiting death
Spellbound
He is astounded
Desire in his loins
For mere coins
Paid for
Adorned
Painted red she lay
In his bed she prays
A whore in name
Prey in his game
Victim she plays
Slowly her heart fades
Fade to black
Her curtain call
Not a game
A game at all
