LASER SHARP AIM

"THE DAMAGED ONES ARE THE DANGEROUS ONES, FOR THEY KNOW THAT THEY CAN SURVIVE" ;)

No clue who he toyed with
No thought who she was
She kept her blade sharpened
And ready to plunge
He'd hurt her, He knew it
Yet he didn't know
that her knives were all sharpened
and ready to go
Her sex appeal sold her
allowing him in
but nothing is safe Now
It's time to defend
She slipped up her black shirt
and slid out the blade
whose cold steel against her
a tiny cut made
she lifted the knife, then
she licked off the blood
looked over her shoulder
a wink and a nod
she focused her vision
her laser sharp aim
and crept down that hallway
that slithering snake
she crept up behind him
as he washed near the tub
and plunged deep her blade in
his spine, just above
the place where his back met
the front of his heart
then whispered, the blade in,
till death do us part....

Author's Note

Sooo...before any of you go thinking wild things, like that this piece's author is insane and Hell bent on destruction and decimation... Allow her to elaborate: This piece is an anthem for strong, clever women everywhere, who have dealt with abuse / cheating / harmful negligence in any aspect, truly. It is in no way to condone nor to glorify actual murder / violence as a means of solving said issues. It is a metaphorical vehicle to drive the story from A to Z. A metaphor to say to men like this, not to take us for fools, for with a wink and a nod, we will draw our cleverly hidden blade on you... and cut you from our lives, when you least expect it.... ;)



SIDE NOTE: When the current story "The Devil's New Disguise" is completed and posted... I will be doing a piece about a female villain, but one who only fights men, until she finds a male counterpart that starts to change her, from the inside out, and I'm not going to tell you the twisty end... ;) This piece has inspired me SO... my imagination is on fire! ;)

*from behind a metal shield*.....

What to say about this poem? Other than......someone lock this woman up!!!! ;) She is very dangerous. The type of alluring seductress who would purchase anything off the home shopping network just to get her hands on those FREE steak knives!!!

A very spine chilling write; one almost certain to have all of mankind peaking over their shoulders at the basin.

Your streak of vengeance continues........

[M. L. F.]

Yasss... peeking over their shoulders at the basin! PERFECT! lolol. Yeah well those kinds of guys ... SHOULD peek over their shoulders... it is only fair. Thank you for the read Doodley. I will surely be checking on what work you have been up to these days. Good work is hard to find these days... hard to find. Quality writing is everything. Practice until you are better and better, is the message we all must obey. And yes, the vengeance streak will always be alive here. Just seems these days it has a new friend too... called love. :) Very new dimensions to journey, especially when you realize you have not ever known such a feeling before, when you thought you had... LOL. No more random ramblings now. Take care Doodley and thanks again for the read.

Good to hear that Cupid has fired an arrow your way! Just remember....he didn't try to kill you! Put the knives down! Smh.....;)

[M. L. F.]

Stepping slowly away from the blade.... *tucks another one away, just in case, for a rainy day*.. :) LOL... but seriously.... feeling nice these days... glad my writing is reflecting it. :) Make no mistake though... I will always appreciate the blade. The suspense and the thrill writing too! :) I must stay true to my genres! I MUST!! haha.. Thanks for stopping by again Doodley.. Will check out your recent stuff on the holiday! Have a great one!

10/10 ign,that was actually the best poem i have found

[M. L. F.]

Thank you so much... A compliment indeed.

[Bala Gorthi]

Very strong message indeed!
You have rightly described it. This is really an anthem for the strong, clever women who have dealt with abuse boldly and successfully.
Whatever be the type of abuse, the anger and aggression against the culprits would always be same. If only all the women of societies get the strength and power to deal such abuse, it can end.
Your message is strong and clear. The words carried the same sharpness of the blade in curtly scribing the message in blood sending shivers to the perpetrators.
Kudos to you for writing this powerful write!
Keep sharing. Keep inspiring.

[M. L. F.]

Thank you.. and I will... ;)

[Ruth]

Wow, a most poignant piece and in such situations who knows how it will end...those who assume seldom assume right...bold moral within this Misty...enjoyed :)

[M. L. F.]

Thank you Poppy for your words. I thought this was something also, that needed to be talked about and that might help someone gather courage to get people like this up and out of their lives. A pleasure to hear from you as always Poppy.

Loved this piece of work, Misty!

It's ironic timing that I managed to read this piece here and now -- I've been reading older works of literature for a class that I'm taking, and in them, you see that while men held the power on the surface, the women were the true power behind the curtains; cunning, witty as could be over brutish men.

I really did enjoy this work. Wouldn't change a thing. :)

[M. L. F.]

Ha! Thanks Sante! Always a nice compliment from a respected fellow writer.. :) Yeah, I think it has been that way through the ages, to be honest. Those types of men are still very much alive and well today... Some more verbally, physically and sexually evil towards women than ever before. But these guys always have , JUST ONE THING IN COMMON.... they 100% UNDERESTIMATE the women in which they abuse. And THAT is where we creep up and splice em. ;) Right out of our lives, like a tumor.
So glad to hear you liked this work Sante. :)

[Asante]

Haha, you didn't stray from the truth at all in saying what you said! I saw a quote a while back that went something along the lines of "What makes a woman special are the things that they do that a man could never do". It's still one of my favorite quotes to this day.

Always a pleasure, Misty. :)

[Jacob Clifford]

*Cheers* That guy got what was coming to him! In a completely metaphorical sense, of course. It'll be a great day when men find they can no longer force their wills onto women. They have every right to pull out the old knife every once in a while. Message aside, the poem itself was intriguing and well-paced. I had just enough time to question and think, and then she stabbed a dude. Always a plus.

By the way, I'm still anxiously awaiting the release of "The Devil's New Disguise". Not to rush you or anything.

[M. L. F.]

Thank you Clifford. Always good to see your comments. :) Yeah... the bad guy can get it, as far as I'm concerned... Thank you for the lovely review... and yes. The "Devil" story will be done this week... I hope! A lot going on here these days. Very honored to hear there are some excited to read it.

I like the metaphor. It's so important for women to be able to stand up for themselves and leave a bad relationship. I think the connection the "stabbing" and cutting someone out of your life is very clever.

[M. L. F.]

Thank you so much. And you are very wise. ;) I am glad it got through to you so clearly Hannah.
Thank you for your time...

"It's a metaphoric statement for clever women... and anthem, not of actual murder, of course, I do not condone that, for then the woman becomes the abuser, herself." ~ thanked God you said those words or else I'll be dreaming this scene at night! I got the feels there you women are so scary! Yes MOM! Ill be right there!

[M. L. F.]

LOL.. Hilarious. Glad you can sleep tonight, even if it is next to your mommy. :)
...Misty

[YanZeros]

haha yeah :D

[Diamond]

My God, this writing is amazing. Twitching nerves to take control of your physical, mental and emotional safety. I loved the description. You are a great writer Misty...Thank you for sharing it.

[M. L. F.]

When I get a review like yours, I get more and more dream fuel. My dreams are unshakeable, and you have just fortified them. For that, I thank you.

Truly,
...Misty

[Robert Parlange]

Do I sense some anger here. Ouch. Think I’ll stop dating. Reminds me of the movie AUDITION. Asian girls had a hard time getting dates after that one.

[M. L. F.]

LOLLLLLLL!!! Maestro! Shame on you! ;) Bahahahha.... ok. Controlling laughter now. Yeah, this piece is about women taking control. About women telling men who think they have us by the balls... that they do not. And that if they are going to abuse us, use us, or twist our gift of precious, precious trust.. then we have learned where to hide the blade and how to use it... The blade that, cuts these guys out of our life. ;) It's a metaphoric statement for clever women... and anthem, not of actual murder, of course, I do not condone that, for then the woman becomes the abuser, herself. But you get the idea.. :) You're a smart, smart cookie! I'll have to check out Audition now that you made me curious..

[Robert Parlange]

Warning, it's gooey.

[M. L. F.]

Hahaha!!! omg... gooey?? I don't think I like the SOUND of GOOEY... hmmm.... no. I'll just watch the trailer, maybe that's enough to quell my curiosities. :)

[Robert Parlange]

Not even close. Hint, piano wire and acupuncture. Bad combination.

[M. L. F.]

You know I couldn't sleep for two days since hearing this.. jk.. but damn. Gross!
