Going on a blind date,
the nerves make you rattle;
if she turns up
then it’s half of the battle.
Gaze into her eyes,
how soft is the voice!
And, after a while,
you’re each other’s choice.

You go to her place,
you feel home from home,
wondering why ever
you were alone.
Decide to stay over,
decide you will stay
a soulmate, a lover,
you can’t be away -
from her certain smile,
from her certain touch,
the way she beguiles,
though she doesn’t say much.

But one thing you never
thought of before;
her bookshelves
extend all the way from the floor
right up to the ceiling,
well-read she may be,
but what is this feeling?
Is it just me?

Murderers and mayhem,
ghouls and ghosts,
romance, (paranormal,)
and things you fear most -
serial assassins,
double agents and spies,
political plotters,
and tellers of lies.

You scan the bookshelves
with a casual air
reading the titles as if you don’t care
she’s in the kitchen - a smile on her face -
stirring the ingredients
of the last cold case.

A dangerous woman -
unlikely you thought,
though these days you worry,
most probably, it’s naught.
Character profiles she relishes writing,
intricate plots where lovers are fighting.

She kills the protagonist
and here's her M.O -
a blow to the head
with a black stiletto.
