Queen

(of hearts)

she plays with fire

but she does not get burned.

she walks holding the devil’s hand

and kisses profanity good night

but her soul is pure as the white of the moon

and her spirit is the stars

spilling across the sky.

she is seduction and submission

hands tied behind her back

swords between her fingers.

you do not know of her power

and that is her power.

she will not conquer your heart

because you will surrender it

like a plea.

her lipstick tubes

are scattered with her bullets

her gun

shoved in her thong.

you call her beautiful

but you have never known beauty

if you have not seen her rage

red with passion

smooth as silk

dangerous as the devil

but still an angel.
