Jorogumo Yokai

Sat alone, at the edge of the unknown

The eyes laid bare, within the waterfall

He can sense his downfall

Serenaded by a vicious harp

Intrigued by a figure slithering near

Alluring eyes, fatal appeal

His heartbeat begins to slow

She finishes playing her harp

She holds an engaging smile

Eyes like wild fire

Burning deep

Tongue flirted with optimism

An open invitation

To thou abode has risen

In front of scorched fire, they perch

An eerie eight-legged silhouette

He can make sense of all the web she's weaved

She shows her true form

His heart begins to drop as time stops

Shadows deceive

Embrace

Jorogumo

Yokai

Manipulated into genesis

He takes one last glimpse at her crooked smile

As she takes the light out of his eyes

This is where she departs

His body left hanging

High
