Poet Tree

From afar I recognized her for her true self
Feeding from the darkness of deep thought
In the wilderness of lost words;
She slowly tramples on brittle, colorless leaves
Making her way to the tree at the center of my soul---
A tree of heart shaped fruit, forbidden to be eaten.
In truth, she would have it no other way
Her tongue quickly licking her lips
Of the remaining speckles of dried blood from Pandora’s soul;
So she is not intimidated by the wry smile of my soul
Who stands with a flaming sword, protecting my innocence.
But her sweet words seduce my angelic form
And she bites into ripened, bitter, red flesh---
Memories and blood gush onto sharpened white teeth
As she feeds off the world’s pain and sorrow.

"As she feeds off the world's pain and sorrow"

Sounds like the incubus..

Should there be wound, then the waters of the infinite sea will heal, for no man is an island...and no woman of stone.
