When you say 'an enemy to beware' something seems lacking. I think you could re-write it to make it more clear.
Magnetic in attraction look at all the lines and see where you can swap an image for phrase that just tell us something.

If you dare steak a kiss stake
Beware of the scorpio Scorpio
Of mysterious allure
Magnetic in attraction
Confident and secure
Holding her head high
with pride the whole stanza is cliche
she draws them in with penetrating eyes
eyes that blaze with intensity
mysterious mind with secrets to unfold
Behind her eyes lay a deep wild sea of emotion
full of passion and desire
someone who is willing
to fight
fire with fire same here
an enemy to beware
never forgets a sight
can be cruel but we don't care
beware of the scorpio sting
In regards to the line 'can be cruel but we don't care' I'm curious, why don't we care that the Scorpio can sting us. I feel the the last line of the last stanza ends on a light note compared to the rest of the poem. Is it a warning to the reader to avoid the Scorpio? If so, why is the cruel Scorpio to be avoided? I like the general message of the poem, but if you were to include some details as well, I think it would appeal to me even more.
