Smile so inviting,
Innocent, seductive eyes,
Voice smooth and sultry,
Full of sincere lies.
Dagger in her hand,
Kisses set in fire,
Last moment of ecstasy,
Complete with passionate desire.
Thrusts the wicked blade,
Into the man's heart,
That's the end of the date,
The ultimate depart.
Funeral is at 10,
Arraignment is at 7,
Roll the cursed dice,
Looking up in heaven.

Awesome poem! hats off! I enjoyed reading it. Do you write professionally? I am also an aspiring poet, writing is one of my greatest passion, I am looking out for something or somewhere to get started on publishing or writing or submitting poetry online, do you have any idea? Anyway, keep up the good works. :)

I do not write professionally, but I have written online for sites like Associated Contents, no longer in existence, Triond, same problem, and the like. I've enjoyed doing this. I may have the ability to write professionally, but I've never had the time or drive to pursue this. Thanks for the compliment though. There are sites that I have seen that do pay for writing. Perhaps I will list some in a future posting.
