Riches flowed from her golden gown
sequins glittered against
pale, cold skin
Stench of lust
and unforgiven love
swallowed in a cushioned bed
. She is drowning
drenched
Oozing, bruising
grasping, lapsing
into a sea
of her own blood
Laughter
fills an empty room
He shimmers against night
engulfed in darkness
a winner of his wants
Greedy, teethy
taunting, haunting
as he flies
into your life
.
