DEATH IN SILK

DEATH IN SILK

I'm trapped in your web...
but you...at least for now...
have not yet felt my presence.
This intricate network of threads...
has me bound and helpless.
Although I know your close...
one false move on my part
will mean death.
My presence here is...
accidental...
Yet I am drawn to you...
I feel your power
Vibrating through your
Silky strands.
My own adhesion...
is not helping
Sticky situations are not...
my forte.
Your strands are vibrating...
harder and longer
I see you heading my way
If I were your species..
I would be all yours
There is no escape...
No pleading
Not even a fighting chance.
You...in all your splendour...
Beautiful hair...shining eyes
Graciously approaching...
You stop!
Please give me a chance!
Your antenna touches me...
On my legs, on my body
my wings, now my head...
Closer...
You've moved...much closer
Poised now!
Helpless...am I
Now bitten !!!!
Your poison enters me...
I feel weak...drifting!
Others too are now trapped...
Where are you going now?
Will this one bite be enough...
Or is there just ...
a small chance
I can escape?
Or....
Will you be back?
