Painted lips and flaxen hair

Deliberately, her skin she’d bare

They called her wild, undomesticated

How easily men became outdated

A tigress, she crept, in search of prey

Rarely, did she let them get away

She’d conquer, control, a sordid affair

They’d lose their minds, to get their share

Persistence, was her claim to fame

Head-strong, she would never tame

Hurry up, she’d always say

Having all the time in the world

Speaking curtly to everyone

She watched, as they unfurled

Making sure the laundry was folded

And the beds, all properly made

Vacuuming carpets completely

Ne’er forgetting to dust the lampshade

She held them all accountable

They’d cower, at the look on her face

Making sure they were tormented

In this house on Grayson Place

Stories are still told about her

How nasty she was to her staff

Yet, no one really knew of her existence

She’s just a woman, in a photograph

The mountains must move

To let new steps be taken

Making way for more

I used to be her favorite dream

A nightmare now, is what I seem

She dare not open up her eyes

For I am one who petrifies

The small one, when she falls asleep

I’ll wait, until she slumbers deep

Then frighten her, awake, she’ll cry

I’ve never really understood why

I used to think she cared for me

Now, she’s just plain scared of me

Unspoken words

Rubbed against pages

In our minds, caught

In a void of noise, reaching

Out of bounds, trying

To find the release

Of electrifying verse
