Nemesis

Your eyes may be the most
powerful force
in the universe
Nothing else
can shut me down
like they do
At first sight
I was amazed
just to be caught
in your gaze
so I stayed
entranced right up
until the moment when
you glided your lance
into my heart
I should have
seen it coming
from the start
but you had me
so happily under
your spell
that I couldn't tell
what was going on
I just longed for the day
the spell would break
and you'd take
your time with me
back in your lair
tied to a chair
You wouldn't dare
hurt a hair
on my head
but instead
you'd choose
to use
slower means
to get inside of me
and tear me apart
just to feel my beating heart
in your cold fingers
for a moment
I should run
and hide from you
I get stunned by you
every time
If there was ever
an arch-nemesis
you're mine
You're my kryptonite
The closer you come
to me the weaker I get
If you touch my skin
I think I'd have to submit
to your powers
So here I am
spending hours
contemplating
my fate
my doom
that soon
I don't think I can avoid
I'm annoyed
by the thought that
someone can just
get near me
to make me helpless
I fear you
You will be the end
of me as I have been
You are my nemesis
How can I even fight this
when simply being
caught in your sight
I can't resist
my heart pounding
at the thought
of the sound of
your voice
that would leave me with
no choice but to
go wherever
you would take me

The Long Game

This game
has taken so long
one's likely to forget
that they've even
been playing it
But I just can't wait
for the cards to be laid
out on the table
I can't wait to show you
what I've got waiting
what all the anticipating
has been building for
I want this to sink deep
so it'll weather the storm
If you haven't heard
the warnings by now
I don't know how
you'll expect
to survive it
The driving rains
and roaring winds
that we all know
are coming
the watchmen
have been drumming
their warnings
for long enough
that this day would arrive
