Betrayal
Lying on the bed,
two bodies lay entwined.
Sacred vows are broken
Lust is served as wine
Hands exploring
Hearts dancing in delight
after so many nights
they have long been deprived
Tasting the honey-sweet sin
forgetting the poison within,
the horned devil is laughing
the traitors' fates have been sealed
Style / type:
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction):
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?
Last few words:
I am trying out imagery. Not sure how well it goes, though. Any ideas for improvement, anyone?

I am running on fumes its nearly three am here I will come back I have a couple of suggestions in mind, I think they could improve the flow the inconsistent rhyme makes the rhythm jerky, it could be that I am tired so I will return with a fresh mind tomorrow night and see what I cant offer you.
I like the theme I think it will be a good poem when its had a few tweaks
