Puppet.

Trying to avoid temptation?
Your defenses are futile,
I can seduce you with only my wits,
Give to you pieces,
Until you reliquish your whole self to me.

Trying to escape the inevitable?
You've the mind of a child,
I've grown tired of playing your petty games.
My strength is something you cannot fathom.

Trying to undermine defeat?
Perhaps I'll be swift in my task,
Show you mercy when you never thought it possible.
I can promise you'll regret what you've said this hour.

You have lost your appeal, puppet.
A beauty like mine never fades.
This mistress will tempt you, tear you apart,
Until every limb on your worthless body trembles with delight.
Control me, show me blood.
Attack me, puppet;
Carry me to heights that blind, while still you see.

I am more wonderful in the darkness of the night.

    Again, this is such an exceptionally well done piece of purple poetry, with certainly a most distrubing maturity. I loved it a ton! bravo... bravo...

    It's so dark...

    I can't even read the words...blood on black...
    Like the colourless track...
    of your mind

    meet me in the shed out back
    bring all your evil schemes
    and whatever else

    that fuels your desire
    feeds your kind

    I'm laid out stripped bare
    Attack me, take me down
    I don't scare

    Truth or dare, I'm wherever you may care
    to find me...
    Evil twin, I am your sin

    You don't have to remind me

    -oOo-


    Loved your poem to pieces
    So dark,
    it really lit my spark

    Hey

    I was expecting something more Poe-like. If you set out to epitomise arrogance you succeeded.

    I like this poem. The power of teaching someone "A lesson" when they are at the mercy of your will. It's oddly sexy and seducing. I have to disagree with strider. This write isn't weird to me at all and I think you did a wonderful job trying to enforce yourself by giving yourself the upper hand.

    And this also reminds me of Phantom Of The Opera.

    Best Regards,
    Holly

    Superb

    A rather wierd write, however you've expressed yourself very well, indeed. Thanks for sharing this one with us. I also wrote a poem entitled Puppets, with a very different theme. Here's a link if you would like to read it: http://allpoetry.com/poem/2276250

    This is great. The perspective this is written from is differenbt than any poetry of this sort of topic I've read before. My favorite stanza was: "You have lost your appeal, puppet.
    A beauty like mine never fades.
    This mistress will tempt you, tear you apart,
    Until every limb on your worthless body trembles with delight.
    Control me, show me blood.
    Attack me, puppet;
    Carry me to heights that blind, while still you see." It leads to the final sentence perfectly. The strong feeling of dark negativity does not leave throughout the entire poem and creates a slightly dark feeling inside of me just reading it. I like this though, how the emotion comes across so clearly.

    Hello Ligeia.

    I think this is written well, the scorn and contempt is apparent, and there are some good lines in this. I also like the verbal slap downs, although I do admit to wondering what the puppet did to instigate such a response in the first place.

    There must have been something, obviously, for a strong negative to be created within you, but then I am inquisitive and nosey, hahaha. On a personal note, I would have liked to have read a longer version, but then I do like long, haha.

    I see you have just joined AllPoetry, so I wish you well, and hope you get what you want from this place.

    My regards.

      Thank you so much for your comment!
      It means a lot to me.
      This was written about an Ex of mine, he didn't treat me so well.
      I don't mind your inquisitive nature, in fact I appreciate it.
      I'm glad you care enough to read and question my motives.
      Next time I will write something longer, if it pleases you.
      Once again, many thanks.
      <3
