Beginning of the End of Days

 
“Exquisite nymph! Forgive me.  
If my approach defies convention;  
Your delightfully nubile aspects  
Have commanded my attention.”  
 
“May we, my darkly lovely lass,  
Skip formal introduction?  
I merely wish to hone my skills  
In the cold art of seduction.”  
 
“I can clearly see you’re new here;  
A fresh cog in our machine  
(I jump to no conclusions, dear—  
Your aura smells too clean).”  
 
“I‘ve the morals of a centaur,  
And an aim as sure as death.  
The witch-king cursed me a thousand times  
(Not bad for a dying breath).”  
 
“See you speak no ills of the newly dead  
(A faux pas in our dark duchy;  
Being dead ain’t what it used to be—  
These days they're downright touchy).”  
 
“If you wish, I’ll take you to the beach.  
We’ll rent chairs and watch the slaughter  
(You can’t imagine the gruesome things  
That crawl out of the water).”  
 
"We'll peruse disreputable wonders  
Sure to dazzle your guileless eye.  
You may earnestly state your hopes and dreams.  
Later on—we'll watch them die."  
 
“No matter, my sweet, I’ve made a list  
Of all the things we’ll do.  
I can assure you, with all sincerity,  
I’ll enjoy them more than you.”
