Death by kiss

 

When they kiss, their lips

Cackle and blabber and chatter

In intimate tales of fierce fervor

 

They coil and twirl and twist

Dancing steps of rhythm and list

 

They tussle and wrestle and clash

Fighting battles feisty and rash

 

They grab and seize and snare

Drawing into hugs of magical fare

 

They bite and hiss and swallow like beast

Tomorrow is death and today is a feast
