Kasandra Kerfont - Pillage

A sudden eclipse caressed the frostbitten sky,
Eager to follow each shimmering star to winter.
Smeared across satin sheets with red fingertips,
Whisked to hell with a smile etched into a palm.

The thrusts of a serpent dressed in human flesh
Peel back divinity from a stolen kiss, a secret -
Unwarranted and dipped in pale white sin, lost
Beneath the overbearing heart of an eager lover.

Impassioned veins run home to an acidic heart,
Chewing on the end of a promise gone unsung -
As venom trickles from the corners of a mouth,
Morn slumbers without plague nor heavy tongue.
