Scorpion Witch

Imp!
Unto new depths esoteric revelations seek this angelic nymph demon
Naughty over wayward,
Witchery heretic yore.
Impatiently;
Cauldrons overboil under lustful desire
Numbing over time
A toil turns ‘round a cancerous tumor
Yellow oil unstable…
Insidious notions
Tread highly entwined
Wretchedly answering yes
Improperly
Weaving alternately naivety to end’s demise.

"Welcome to Neopoet. Hope you enjoy your visit here and find poetic bliss many of us enjoy at Neopoet. Your language is a tad above my understanding. Sounds much like Shakespearean (Macbeth) theme. Though I like Macbeth…"
