Double – Edged

Did you hear the story,

of the double – edged crime?

It’s one for all the glory,

standing the test of time.

She is known as power,

and her tale is told with a smirk,

knowing the listener cowers,

at the way it is rehearsed.

It always begins with crimson,

of blood, the listener thinks;

That had something vermilion.

And further victims she sinks,

in the depths of her beguile gaze.

Equipped with a sinister curve,

a knife? The listeners concur;

she leaves the viewer swerved.

But the tale ends thus so,

for her being meek and docile,

is her scintillating weapon forgoes,

and is none but her selfless smile.
