Delilah hesitated and clung to her father’s arm, The aisle sprawled before her, filled with eager faces. Shivers tingled her spine and anxiety crept over her face.

Imploringly she urged, begged her father not to make her marry.

The match would bring two wealthy families together. Her father had driven the partnership much like a business,

And Delilah could not, should not disobey.

Her future awaited.

Even before she had reached her beau a sly, wicked plan formed.

Delilah smiled through tears of sorrow as the car sped off,

Taken to her lavish home where she was expected to remain forever!

But Delilah was no prisoner, for her father’s prisoner she was. Alone, lonely.

During the day Cinderella waxed the stairs firmly, With care she chose her shoes, very soon he succumbed and fell.

Delilah hesitated and clung to her father’s arm, Sobbing tears of joy as the coroner read his flawed verdict.

Shivers tingled at the thought of her new wealthy

independence,

But the seed was sown.

Horrific elation swelled, not greed or lust.

The new match would bring two unusual people together.

Her father disliked the partnership much like his hate of charity,

For her beau was poor, she could disobey her father with tenacity.

The poor man dragged to her height ate fertiliser with sad delight!

Death was slow, but she relished each hour and tended him,

Expressing love and fidelity she fed him further with his destiny.

Organs failed over time, inside she ached with a sadistic delight.

Following the coffin down the aisle, her father wore an evil smile,

With care she chose her food.

Soon she searched for a new thrill.

Delilah hesitated and clung to her father’s arm, Sobbing malicious tears of desire, a predator baiting her prey.

Her new man; a wall street cad taken by the riches he would have,

But the gluttonous spirit failed within a week.

Heart, high on life.

The new match failed to bring two people together. Her father grew suspicious of her his daughter’s endeavour.

Until true love pierced her heart as never before, Her prince came!

Delilah hesitated and clung to her father’s arm.

Travel enriched the man and wife; skiing, surfing, trotting.

Diving into mystical reefs, away from the crowds, Diving deep together and forming a spiritual bond, Diving deep into one another’s eyes.

With hands firmly held they dropped to the caves, And beneath the ocean he lovingly stripped her mask, Stripped her tank.

Held her flailing form until life escaped.

Hesitantly, once again, he walked down the aisle.
