Wife of Bath
Wife of Bath
Her ways are that of seductive soul, her eyes tour lands to and fro
She feasts upon the men she sees, and lurks in the valleys below…
She is woman every other woman fears, her beauty is such they quiver
She devours her prey in moments, not even for a piece of silver…
Dusk brings out her sensual self, she lies in the pub on the corner
Sinking her teeth in her victim she plans before her…
He is a man indeed, his wealth is like a shining ring before her
His smells, His, tells, his uniform are all adorned by her…
Her eyes gaze upon the ground he stands, a plan is her devise
He neither sees nor senses what she plans, her intension are full of lies…
He is a man with power, the land he owns brings wealth
Sheep and cattle and farmland, his stature is quite stealth…
Love is but for fools, a genuine heart is rare…
The woman searches for riches in her soul which is certainly bare…
Strange to the land this man comes, a soul knows not him at all
Where has he come from, why is he here? Did he hear her call?
Her beauty lures, they sense her afar, his mission is set in stone
She seeks his flesh, she devours with her eyes down to his bones…
A mist the room of the tavern walls, he sees her glowing smile
Like a lion preying on its dinner, she stares at him for awhile…
Sheik is he, wealth encompasses his body, mind and soul
The lion she is moves in for the kill, sinking her teeth into her foul…
He has fallen for her ways of love and lie,
She owns his soul now, upon her he relies…
Her past is full of demons, her flesh has been plagued indeed
But how will she tell him the truth, for herself to be freed?
She has led a life of selfish desires full of lust and sin
Her ways have earned her punishment of flesh and skin within…
Time is short, her days are numbered as so her punishment stands
She must tell him, knowing he may leave to other lands…
Pain strikes his heart like spear the soul, his mind goes to and fro
He knows he must come to peace deep within his soul…
Deep into her eyes he wanders, he searches her within
He hits her with a secret of his, his darkest and deepest sin…
Plagued by the disease his lover has, he shares her sin inside
He left his land to run away and find a place to abide…
He confides to her and bares all he has, the loss of his health and riches
He is not the man she though he was, he barely owned his britches…
He lost it all, not a penny to his name, she chased a man whose empty
Disease has plagued their flesh and soul, sin left their souls angry…
