Delilah's Deceit - Judges 16 Poem

More about Delilah's Deceit - Judges 16 Poem

A tale of love and tragic fate,
Of Samson, famed and strong and great.
Ensnared by Delilah's charms,
He fell into her treacherous arms.
She sought his secret, night and day,
For Philistines' promised pay.
With cunning words and wily plea,
She sought the source of Samson's glee.
Three times he fooled her, told her lies,
But in the end, he met his demise.
His strength revealed, his hair she sheared,
His enemies, she finally neared.
Samson captured, eyes gouged out,
In chains he suffered, in doubt.
But in his darkest hour of plight,
His strength returned with all its might.
He pushed the pillars, temple fell,
Bringing death to Philistines' spell.
A tragic end, a mighty fall,
Samson's story, known to all.
Beware deceit and false allure,
For in betrayal, danger's pure.
A cautionary tale, so grim,
Of Samson's fate and Delilah's whim.
