Never Look Into A Scorpio's Eyes

Never look into

a Scorpio's eyes

who's gaze

sends shivers down

your spine

and you see sadistic pleasure

reflecting in such a way

that puts a mirror to shame.

Never look into

the eyes of neither October

nor November

where the rime of fall awaits

signaling that it is not quite winter

but has the bite

of one frigid evening.

Should you

meet gazes with a Scorpio,

be warned

of the paralysis and

feeling of nudity

that will cause your breath

to catch in your throat.

Be wary

of glittering emeralds

or confident

sapphires

or demanding amethysts

or vicious onyx

For though they are

pretty jewels

and they adorn

pristine crowns and tiaras,

keep in mind,

they are embedded

in cultural daggers that

they will drag

through your heart

and make you feel

nothing but gratification

that they chose to hurt you

and you alone

Never look into

a Scorpian's eyes.

Look elsewhere, anywhere,

away from the intense orbs

but if you do,

be prepared

for a life lived in slavery

to the powerful

arachnid

where their pleasure

is your pain.

A life led in exhaustion

of pleasing the

eighth beast of the stars

And when you take

your last breath,

and your importunate

journey ends,

the Scorpion will be there

to watch

you in your last moments

and you will gaze back

into alluring eyes

that you hate

and a tear will fall

from those

hideous jewels

causing you to smile

faintly

as you enjoy a mere

second's peace

that ends a lifelong

search of servitude
