Spiderweb

 

It has entangled my spirit,

Wrapping me up tight

As I await the poisonous bite.

There is no escape

from what is to come

once the truth is spun.

Now that I am at your mercy

You can eat my flesh

But my soul will get stuck in your throat 

Causing your power to choke.

I have always said they can have the flesh but not the soul. The web here can read as both metpahor and literal :) Nicely done Dale :)

Why thank you my dear Poppy... I am honored by your positive feedback.

Love your fitting idea of likening another soul-sucker as a spider. You carry your analogy thru-out with relatable observations & details. I especially love the last vicious thrust of vengeful sentiments.

Why thank you kindly young lady. You flatter me so.

You're a man with a whole lotta soul Cowboy! :)
I like this, we fall prey to ill intentions but I think good always wins in the end.
Even in real life. Lots of trials but there's still more good than bad...

Thank you so much... you are right about that.

All Spider Lives Matter! :O
A very powerful write in so few words.
Even a 'widow' falters; one bite too many.
Well versed.
