Amber poison
rushing through our veins
every time we stop
to take a sip.
Amber poison
enticing each victim
with its rich aroma
and elegant form.
Amber poison
dripping slowly from
the glass as they
sip it sophisticatedly
Amber poison
leaving them lying
unconscious on the floor
until they wake up
Amber poison
a slow killer
craftily making its way
until it takes over.
I like the idea of perfume as poison.
ReplyDeleteLove your imagery... and the idea of it being poison, relating to so many possiblities.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
The dark side of perfume as compared to the sipping variety ... well done!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that the intoxicating scent of perfume has lured many a person to his death or, at least, to the abandon of his senses!!
