Widow's web, tangled deceit,
smuggness carefully veiled.
Victorious in her quest,
where all the others failed.
Conniving in dasterly deed,
wiled her way into his heart.
Meals laced with arsenic,
soon after he would depart.
The root of all evil is money,
many don't play by the rules.
Some will kill just to have it,
others willingly play the fool.
Widow played the game well,
a fool and his money parted,
The devil now owns her soul,
pretends to be broken hearted.
Evil should not be triumphant,
but no one said life was fair.
Ugliness was hidden by beauty,
now only death fills the air.

This is so true to life and the rhyme completes the wonderful flow. I like the movement as stanza take the reader into a cold heart where death brings more wealth. The widow willing to sell a soul to the devil for gain, will lose as money is a short term for God's judgement.

The depth in this, and the reality hiding in the words are absolutely brillant; Your words are like a dark rainbow bursting suddenly out of the sky to reveal the ugliness beneath

Great surrealism!!!
Beautiful imagery belies the evil within this message of deception and cold-heartedness. One day, Black Widow shall meet her match in the depths below... Will her blood-tainted money then save her soul?!!? 
Best of luck in this contest, you have a winner here!!! Peace, Cyn
