[You Can't Escape]

My seas are deeper than you can ever imagine

in the garish light of day you still can't envision

how deep the waters go beneath your soul

I fathom in technicolor and drag you to the bottom

from the top of your crown, til you're on your knees,

my power of persuasion will haunt your psyche

like an amused cat with a mouse, I'll toy with you

 inject myself under your skin like a festering toxin

I'm the spirit of sleep that never comes 

in your hour of pain when you seek peace

blink in your head, I'll disperse your bones

I'll take you from the ones you love

twist your mindset til it's crippled

no one can rescue your sanity

I'll remind you of your broken promises

desolate in your forsaken tidings

there'll be no catching your breath,

wreaking havoc, I will force your hand,

you'll be stripped naked to the core

altered thought patterns my forte,

vociferous that one of us is crazy

I hold the power of your deliberation

ever sagacious, I'll never leave your side

I am your mistress of unscrupulous tenet

no way to be saved from my embrace

my torturous grasp is burrowed in deep

entangled within guts and heartstrings

you can't escape me, you're  mine

I am RELENTLESS....

You promise? :)

This is so cool, like I was watching a movie or something. Definitely worth the wait. This piece pulls you in by the hiar and drags you through each and every line. Your eyes can't close for there is too much to see, your mouth gapes at what is presented and your body is as restless as your heartbeat. Very cool.

[Frieda P]

If my poetry is dragging you by the hair I've done my job. ;-P

[Jack...]

[Barbara Walker]

This is how the grip of nicotine's hold feels to me!

[Frieda P]

Yes, that would be relentless too, thanks Barbara.

[Corset]

Giggles, last night you awoke me in curlers, it was quite frightful, lolololol...

[Frieda P]

Lol curlers? ftw, you still sleep in those damn things? Ha, I can see it now....

[Rhianne Ney]

I interpreted it as someone possessive and it sent shivers down my spine *brrr* like it was winding me up and spin me around in terrifying circles *brrr*

Great poem as always

[Frieda P]

And I'm so glad it did, thanks Rhianne!

[Rhianne Ney]

You're welcome~

[Pete Langley]

This continuous metaphor is, as you say, relentless and compulsive...of your past, your concience, your memories, your scars. Gripping, Frieda. P.

[Frieda P]

You sly fox you. I was going for conscience, tweaked it a bit so it could read whatever your little heart desires, in your case a big heart Pete! x

[Pete Langley]

Hahaha. Gotcha! Covered all the bases did I? Hehe. Still gripping on the third reading, sweet. P.

[Frieda P]

Holy three times, I love you Pete! ;-)

[Deuces]

Frieda strikes again! This is deep... I found myself admiring this woman's determination, even though it's extreme. This was an entertaining piece with a unique subject. Always enjoy your darker writing.

"I am your mistress of unscrupulous tenet" - love it.

[Frieda P]

Always waiting to hear what you have to say Cyn, thanks so much, jazzed you liked this one.

[Rob Santana]

Ugh!!! This is killer!!! I love this!!!! This is my favorite Frieda piece!!!!! Damn!!!! Powerful!!!!!

[Frieda P]

I was hoping you'd enjoy this one Rob! Thanks so much....I'm so happy I got the CREEPER seal of approval! :-)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

This describes a determination with such agility of phrasiology. It is a powerful write but also so, so scary in its obsessive nature.

[Frieda P]

Thanks John, high praise from you.

[Emerald Seas]

Eerily disturbing and provocative. The men much be squirming with an uneasiness, the ladies weary... An excellent poem with a Poe feel! A haunting jaunt into realms we dare not speak within the context of relationships, obsession, or serial killers! ;)
You never cease to amaze me with your range of vocabulary or subject matter. Truly a remarkable writer!

[Frieda P]

Wow Sera you tickled me in all the right places with this review! I'll tell you a secret, it's really not that scary, or it could be for some, but it's something we all possess, well most of us, ha...did I confuse the heck out of you now? ;-)

[Emerald Seas]

No, not confused at all! We all possess a darker side... Some can delve into and release it easier than others. However, the potential is there for everyone :)

[Frieda P]

I was speaking to conscience, but I'm glad you took it there....I tweaked it so it'd be open for interpretation. ;-)
