The Angel of Retribution <br />Spreads her leathery wings, <br />Flaps them and draws you <br />To her cold hard breast. <br />She is a siren who sings <br />Of desolation and doom <br />There is no respite nor rest <br />Only an embrace with no room <br />For mercy or escape <br />The Angel of Retribution <br />Has heard your lies <br />So it is too late <br />She will ignore your pitiful cries. <br />With evidence of betrayal <br />In violated beds <br />She has judged you <br />And pronounced you - dead <br />She sinks diamond claws <br />Into flesh raw with passion <br />Will feast on your bones <br />To repay indiscretion <br />So, dressed in full regalia <br />She unsheaths sharpened sword <br />For unleashing genitalia <br />And breaking your word <br />She has marked you <br />And knows your measure <br />Now comes punishment <br />In payment for pleasure. <br />The Angel of Retribution <br />Flies on untiring wings <br />And as she comes closer <br />It is your death she brings. <br /> <br /> <br />April 2003<br /><br />Josephine Dunn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-angel-of-retribution/
