And There She Was

Her beauty was uncanny.
With her wares she had seduced many.
She was dainty and friendly; 
Within her bosom the bones of men she kept buried.

Her voice was a lullaby;
Unknowingly, in her presence I started to cry.
Then I wept at her feet 
And said to her, for you I would die

She pulled me in with seductive stare.
In the blinking of an eye within a glare,
I suddenly felt an unwarranted fear;
Again in astonishment I stared.

She had the devil in her green eyes;
Abruptly, blue turned to grey skies;
It wasn’t until later I had realized,
She was the devil in disguise.
