Marionette

Cut the strings

Your eyes like daggers slicing straight through my heart, shamelessly seducing my vulnerability as if a spare part. 

Your naughty demeanor your scandalous chatter, evokes haphazardly such titillating gray matter.

You enjoy playing coy with your come hither grin, as I beg you for mercy my ultimate sin.

Such naughty whispers like a cheap souvenir, for I am the marionette and you my puppeteer.

Enticing me closer with curves that kill, one taste of your lips caught in the middle of this delicacy you swill.  

Chew me up and spit me out, cast your shadow over my doubt...

Woe is me my libidinous pitfall; Too hot to handle so I’m gonna crawl.

Superb rhyming delivers a pertinent message of how a man may fall and rise again to the wiles of a woman's rule of the "stronger" sex........lol It is all so very grand on the stage of man vs. woman!
Your summary line is perfect - gotta love a man who crawls!

[Dream Weaver]

Thank you Sheila, with what I know about women I could write a 500
page book...Did I mention that it would all be empty pages> :)

[Sheila Kline]

Oh, you are tooooo funny!!! Sometimes it is better to have blank pages.....lol

[Dream Weaver]

Blank pages and an empty pen...That will be the next title for my next write! lol

[Lourisa]

Very vivid imagery - I just love it!

[Dream Weaver]

Thanks Lourisa, so very kind of you and much appreciated...

[redflutterby]

Lol... great imagery and topic. But remember its not just men who are the marionettes. ;-)

[Dream Weaver]

So very true...I'd say a 50/50 split give or take...

[quinfinn]

why is it that we, men with perfectly good sense and gifted minds, allow some women to be that puppeteer? is is only lust? no....is it utter adoration? perhaps....but i think it is the desire to please her, to make her happy and to satisfy her desires as much as possible. trouble is, many women will use that submissive behavior as a leverage and employ cruelty when they have the upper hand. i don't know what the answer to this malady is, but i think you have stated it beautifully in this impressive and very colorful prose. well done!!!

[Dream Weaver]

Thank you Quinfinn, food for thought absolutely. Remember the old adage the face that launch a thousand ships...or something to that effect...

[RainC]

The puppeteer and puppet depict the ultimate in control. I really liked the rhyme in this poem. You've done a great job in the devolution of man (standing to a crawl).

[Dream Weaver]

Thanks very much Icelandicblue;
I see you've picked up on that quite easily...
Much appreciated. :)

Yes, the title is perfect! I am hoping you don't have long hair....lol.
Nice portrayal of a man-eater.

[Dream Weaver]

I actually did back in the early 70s when playing in bands but alas I keep it close cropped these days lol...Thanks again for your review :)

Many a woman has brought a strong man to his knees, or worse! I call it, The Delilah Syndrome...
Greta stuff!

[Dream Weaver]

Thanks Dean, much appreciated, The Delilah syndrome sounds
about right. :)

[Dean Kuch®]

[Dream Weaver]

Too late I'm already on it :)
