Lo La - a poem

Lo la

Lola was a black widow spider
Casting a tenebrous spell
A failed dancer on stage
Danced into men’s hearts

Her gift was her curse
Charm her calling card
Destroyed lives her legacy
Tragedy following triumph

She bewitched King Ludwig
Amassed wealth
Abused power
Was exiled from the Kingdom

London Paris Munich
Different cities
Different lovers
Same old story

What compelling emotions
did she stir
That led men of power
so astray

A confidence which ensnarls
the prey
An inner radiance
drawing one near

What is your secret Lola
What makes you tick
Come back from the dead
And whisper in my ear

  1. Beautiful expression. I loved the way intrigue builds... Leaves you yearning for more in the end, though! Overall, a very rich and sensitive expression.
