Tightly Wound

Wondrous white, perfectly pure
  Silken sheets so smooth and sleek
   Diaphanous clouds of comfort
    Tuck tightly round her torso until
     Ah, the welcome winsome warmth!
      Transforming her frigid frame
       Into a fiery furnace
        ***************
Too hot
  too close
      too tightly coiled
           Her flush face starts
                  Wide-eyed in panic
              Escape is all she can conceive
        But twisting only tightens
    in its all-consuming need
She thrusts wildly to free herself
      from this claustrophobic cocoon
           Only to be lashed by the edges
               of this satyric silken straight jacket
            Mutated from enticing to constricting
       Inescapable as it winds upward
    across her weakened waning face
           refusing to share her
                  even with air.
