Passionate Obsession

Passionate Obsession
Red
His eyes feasted on the colour of it
How it flowed
ran down her slender throat
seeped into the pink chiffon of her prom dress
Beautiful
His fingers thrilled to the feel of it
Warm and magical
in contrast to her flesh
quickly taking on the spring night's chill
Wondrous
His heart raced at the thrill of it
The sudden shock
her trusting eyes' vacant stare
blonde hair floating on the crimson pool
Entrancing
His mind imagined the end of it
Drying in the air
becoming black and sticky
stopping with the heart's slow fading away
Disgusting
His tongue quivered at the taste of it
When he'd cleaned his hands
washed and stowed the knives and ropes
and kissed her sweetly on her scarlet lips
Lovingly
