Kiss Assassin

Slay me with your pyre lips
and dragon tongue, the sword on which
my sacrificial soul
splays helplessly impaled.
Stab me with your foil of want;
lunging thrusts of longing need
that jab and pierce
until I bleed... your desire’s scabbard death

Draw from me the last of breath.

Suffocate by succulent lure
with bites of engulfing heat’s embrace
that lick my neck with passion’s swoon;
vampiric thirst’s immortal lust.
Murmurs’ vial of poison drunk
in sounds of groaning overtures
and rapture’s moans in boiled blood veins;
an overdose of verbal venom’s musk

That dim life's light by killer's dusk.

Shot with looks that all devour;
riddled by raw hunger’s yearning taste
that feasts upon soft flesh in lipstick
with teeth of tender sated touch.
Snuffed, my flame’s inferno stilled
by smoldering murder’s parting lips
I linger, but to die again
and die times more in smothered bliss

Extinguished by a lover's merciless kiss.
