Weekly Challenge (9/12 - 9/18)   Bookworm   ( alternative title' One lump or two?)

My love you’re a crime scene I’ve planned from afar,
You don’t know it yet ..but my darling ..you are.
Each morning you wake and lock the bathroom door,
and start humming tunes that I know you adore.
Perhaps you can visualise your day ahead,
the deals you will broker,
the lies you’ll have said.
What promises youā€˜ll make..
and whose heart Ā you will Ā break?
How clever you were with the lies you have told..
Pretending you love me but really so cold…
You put on a clean shirt, all starched and pristine,
You look like the charmer that you’ve always been.
You’re thinking of her now and how she will smell,
the way you seduced her and how you would tell
her tales of the sad life you’re spending with me,
and how loving her eases your misery.
She smiles at the thought that you think her divine.
She wonders and hopes that ā€˜one day he’ll be mine’
No.. no.. that won’t happen, because left to me,
I’m puttingĀ  some poison in his morning tea.
ā€˜How bitter it tastes!’ will be your final word,
I’ll put in more sugar, and when I have stirred
I’ll sit back and watch as it slips down your throat,
my exterior calm, but inside I will gloat.
Your face changes from a self -satisfied smile,
to twisted, contorted ,demonically vile.
Your last second living I hope you will see,
that this Ā vengeance is sweet.. and your nemesis.. Ā ME!

Oh, how exciting this poem was. I was drawled in from the very start and locked in the story the whole way through with a nice conclusion. Fantastic work!Ā

Found it!! I was looking under the title of Revenge, One Lump Or Two?
I adore reading and rereading this Lodigiana, a wicked, wicked poem so wickedly, wickedly well written.
I hope you're well and not too cold either and simply thank you for all you have done and for writing and sharing your superb poem among many others.
Take care and I wish you well my poetic friend.
Shaun.x.

This poem makes me a litle afraid of how coldblooded I must appear ..but honestly..it's imaginationĀ  all inside my head ..I am really chuffed that you enjoy reading itĀ  and rereading it has made me wonder if there is perhaps not a sequel waiting to be written???...now that's food for thought maybe?. I have been lax in writing and reading lately but am starting to feel the need for some literary food soĀ  will be turning my hitherto boringly mundane thoughts to all things 'Wordsmithy' if such a thing exists..thank you so much Shaun for your comments..it has fired me up to get back to writing..Thank you my friend xx
