Aridnead - Princess of Spiders

Staring through the razor web,
Her eyes pools of ichor
She clutches strands of wire

In her parlour of black ice,
A cup of poisons offered
Beneath a multitude of saucer eyes

A  drink to chase away the terror
of her embrace,
Body numb with expectance

She  smiles needles and scurries forward,
Barbed legs bring no pain as they sink in
To willing flesh

Leaning in to inhale your death-musk,
Blackened lips clasp on to  your own
A dessicated form is dropped

Remains join the others,
Strewn upon the cavern floor
A warning to those who dare to act as predator near her

Feasted, she slumbers anew
Limbs furling around her distended womb
The brood spreads

Etheric Transference

Lie so still beneath the water
Let my arms clasp you one last time
Before your soul is released from suffering

A blackened essence rises from your body
Your back arches in pleasure
Your eyes flutter back

Loosen the cord around your neck
Soothe the flesh
Weep, for a time

Release her to the abode
Of one who has suffered so
Specks of white shining from the darkness of her soul

She wafts through me and I inhale magnificence
Divine potentia
Envigoured by your merging
I spill blood
Droplets of crimson hit water, turn to smoke

A warning to those who claim the body
Of the cycles she chooses to endure throughout
Perpetual childhood, all shame forgotten
Cast aside for society's mirror to resolve

The face in the water changes
One side of her mouth ticks upwards
Every droplet a symphony

The blood spirals deeper
The portal is opened
Her shell is entered once more

The eyes roll back

She tilts her head and smiles.
