Sweet Michelle ~ OpenLinkNight
Okay...thank you twitterverse and @FracturedPhrase AKA Stephen Shultz for providing me the inspiration for this fierce fast write for tonight's #OpenLinkNight. Joe Hesch has got the stage set, and your drinks are waiting, so head on over to dVersePoets for what I am sure will be a most poetic good time!
Sweet Michelle
Sweet Michelle
You would often hear the yells
That would come from Sweet Michelle
And they would make your knees go weak
As they filtered to the street
But you know better than to tell
Of this life lived by Sweet Michelle
For if her daddy could make her cry
You know he’s not the nicest guy
So up she came through this wicked life
Filled with sin, ungodly strife
But strength would win, she’d have her way
And send sweet Daddy to his grave
And though he may have been the first
He would surely not win prize for worst
Blood lust was what awoke inside
The night she made her daddy cry
To feel the power, to cause the pain
Adrenalin rushed through her brain
And like the pearl within the shell
So brought the legacy of Sweet Michelle
No man is safe who walks at night
But ego pushes away the fright
And when she stop to steal your heart
Know she means it, ribs apart
With butcher knife and Munroe mask
She is willing and up to task
She is woman, hear her roar
And watch their blood begin to pour
If only daddy could have known
Little girls need a happy home
One where body and
mind are safe
Not one where children’s hearts are raped
Revenge is sweet but death is sweeter
You will know if you get to meet her
But boy’s be careful, the angel’s fell
Witness the broken wings of Michelle
And now they’ll never again fly
She’d rather stay here and watch you die
One day she’ll wear the crown of Hell
This once lovely, this Sweet Michelle.
And as she licks the blood from knife
Her rosey lips, the smile tight
Know she has tasted what she has craved
She's found her calling, tuition waved.

But ego pushes away the fright"
I am Borg, and well, sometimes, late at night, I too feel a little fear of what might be lurking..
Wonderful poem Natasha.Well, in a frightening blood curdling,sleep with one eye open way.
The rhyming and timing were great
And the Face it Facts are simple, as this could be many a fate.
What a gripping, thought provoking read.
Though me thinks this tale is embellished somewhat for the season.
These lines do well in shocking the reader. Well done.
"And when she stop to steal your heart
Know she means it, ribs apart"
Thanks for sharing this harrowing tale.
nice story you weaved here...
Know she means it, ribs apart
Natasha,
You have some fantastic lines throughout this piece. I'm going to go out of my way to avoid meeting anyone named Michelle. Quite an excursion, this one!!!!
and wielding it she did ~ suppose there were two paths to choose ~ and her choice empowered her ~
last line summed 'tuition' wavered . victims paying the fee ~
hopes to stay out of radar ~
great narrative Tash ~
I too felt an empathy as well as hiding behind my hand :)
Lib
Let me have her for just one eve,
I'm certain to bring her around,
for when she opens me up to see
there's simply no heart to be found.
'Cause life abstains its pleasures
for people like she and me.
We find that love only endures
in mutual misery.
Allow my charms to free her soul,
and steer her from gates of hell.
Listen closely to a dear love told
from within the heart of sweet Michelle
and she did rip my ribs apart.
..but that was yesterday, now yesterday's gone..
this is a funny piece…could've been some western ballad somewhere..LOL.
Hey..I hear Helen Reddy's roar there…nice allusion.
Great story poem! a much fun read.
