Archemantis Latistyla

he watched her for days filled his senses with her fantasized her fierce embrace her elegance hypnotized him the terrible beauty of her laid him waste drew him she felt his eyes and her own power revelling in it she danced for him she loved to dance she loved her grace she loved the moment she longed for his embrace he saw she loved him and he came to her 'if you love me I must kill you she said for it is my nature stay away from my bed ' (though she hungered for him ) we are two of a kind you and I he replied I love you I was made for you let me come to you, my Sweet take me in your arms love me pray for me then  eat (Archemantis Latistyla = Preying Mantis)     .

  no the picture didn't give it away to soon, in fact i think you could name the poem Praying Mantis. the only change i'd make is the parenthesis, by saying she longed for him too, it takes away some of the sting, i always think of her as the seducer and destroyer.

  "love me pray for me then eat",that sums it up for me,very wily and easy to read poem,of course it has nothing to do with women at all ha! ha!
  
  How often have you nearly been munched I wonder(all that remains of me is about three brain cells and a hand,everything else has been devoured)
  
  nice work,really enjoyed reading it
