The Spider Queen


Should ever you happen upon her lair,
I bid you fair warning to beware.

Gracefully she weaves her web of lust,
Adorned with diamonds and pixy dust.

Elegantly she glides and sits in wait,
For the unsuspecting to seal their fate.

Her hair so fine like a mane of silk, 
With skin so smooth and white as milk.

Her beauty is her venom, a poison so sweet,
To the innocent souls with whom she meets.

Lure you she will with a smile so warm,
Seduce you she will with a mystical charm,

Find yourself entangled within her gaze,
And your mind will be lost in a hopeless haze.

To wonder what lies behind her eyes,
Is a curiosity certain to paralyze.

The most beautiful creature I've ever seen,
The one I speak of is the Spider Queen.
