THE DEVIL'S NIECE (An Original Poetry)

---

Sitting still and sweetly scintillating
polythene legs
buried in a skimpy skirt
slurping and gurgling wine
like a fish in a Nile
a doppelganger to Jezebel
chapters of prose fiction
a senile diction
in her contorted smile
reddened lips like a molten magma
smoking away like a drunken chimney

---

She's the devil's niece
an elixir to the after life
laced sensually in a kiss
a viper's cuddle hidden in the hiss
freely enslaving free born
like a weary bird flirting in the skies
still, still your soul is bound for nirvana
but into a darkened too opaque for light
like the snaky head of gorgon Medusa
making your dreams congeal

---

The devil's niece
croaking like a toad
sniggering,
her carnivores beak bickering
tactile tenderness,
softness of her touch
her celestial gaze is like ice
thawing and gnawing
into your conscience like a leech
stinging like a scorpion's stingers

---

Your heart is a gammon
a slize of raisin for her breakfast
strawberry ale for her dizzy eyes🍓
reeking of unimaginable pleasure
but kills sweetly slowly
like a battalion of ant,
nibbling away at a piece of meat.
she's the devil's niece
clothed in floral feathers
strapped to her bubbly bosom
