[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...]

I so glad I used a good glue this week.

No I'm still here, well no, not here, but..um...uh, I just stopped by to borrow a cup of sugar, yeah that's it, sugar. How was I to know a beautiful woman would answer the door, oh, did I just say that out loud? Ok, you caught me.

[Frieda P]

[Jack...]

Splenda?

[Lily Mae]

Truvia? lol.. as in "True" lol

[Androglossia]

This is an eerily evocative piece. Sharp yet stunning. The essence of haunting to the highest degree. I knew you're good at that so tell me how you do it some time:)

[Frieda P]

Ha are you ready to dance in the pale moonlight? ;-) Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this one Maryanne.

[Androglossia]

Should it really be pale moonlight?

[Frieda P]

Seems that's what the devil likes best...

[Androglossia]

I'm a sun person and I don't like vampires and werewolves. I'm just going to be 'a devil in daylight' if there's anything as such:D

[PP]

I am blown away Frieda at its least! awesome xxx

"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...."

Someone got to use those lines in a movie!

[Frieda P]

Ha you blow me away now! So jazzed you liked this one, I tweaked it enough times, hope it got under your skin, Cheers! ;-)

[PP]

Its Hollywood quality my dearest :)

[Frieda P]

Haha I'll need a new outfit for the awards show Lol ;-)

[PP]

Haha! Jump into my boutique !

[Frieda P]

Ha I hope you have more than those see-through panties available!

[Veronica Chandler]

Damn it! Now I gotta sleep with the lights on again tonight! Not only that, but I had to pull out my freakin dictionary... twice!
This piece chilled me to the bones... I am shivering as I type! I felt like I was being consumed bite by bite, as every word by word passed! Incredibly gripping piece you had me engrossed throughout woman! Extraordinary talent but I am glad your subject is not my mistress with the "unscrupulous tenet!" RELENTLESS!!!

[Frieda P]

*big smiles* So thrilled it had an effect, couldn't ask for a better review, thanks so much Veronica, much appreciated!

[kublakhan27]

Oh wow...so this is where all my sleep is disappearing to...be gentle with those bones, in a manner of speaking anyway...no argument on the sanity part...no argument on your ability to force my hand...I already felt hypnotized by the time I got to your power of persuasion...I'll take my toxin well-done, relentless mistress ;P

[Frieda P]

Ahah, you're so easy Benji! ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Only once in a while Mrs. R ;P

[Frieda P]

To martyr yourself to caution, is not going to help at all ;-)

[kublakhan27]

OMG That's awesome...no safety in numbers when the right one walks out of the door...love it ;)

[Elleannatasha]

Wow... my mind immediately starts trying to grasp at who, what, why, where... and then I realize... that is the beauty of it. That this can be whatever I want it to be. My demons or my addictions or my longings or my goals. So well done for the reader's sake. And maybe a little therapeutic for you maybe?

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your visit, I had something in mind when I started but I was hoping the reader would make this their own, of course therapeutic, isn't that why we all write, thanks so much!

[Rita L. Sev]

Wow - a little freaked out by this one, like there's a stalker outside my window! Yes, your words are that vivid. I could hear this being recited in the voice of Vincent Price... That "spirit of sleep that never comes" may be keeping me up later! Great piece depicting obsession in its highest degree!

[Frieda P]

Ha, hope you got some sleep last night Rita, thanks!

[Tai Ryens]

Seductress? Silent hill? I found some odd love in this, having a strange attraction that you are more than willing to extend beyond the law in order to keep the lover. I do find the oddest adulations despite situation . . .

[Frieda P]

Don't tell anyone but it's not about that, and the music, I just wanted something freaky, hopefully I tweaked it enough so your mind could take you where you wanted to go, thanks so much Tai.

[redflutterby]

Usually nothing scares but this knocked the bejesus right out of me. Dark and cold...gave me the chills!! Help!!! Thoroughly wicked write.. ;-)

[Frieda P]

Ha Red, mission accomplished! ;-P

[s y e]

Holy flip flops!

Woah, I think ive been blown out my bed! I swear that was exactly like watching a movie on my phone. Honestly, that was something!!!

Each line was like it reached out and dragged me in, deeper with each line..... dragging me in so deep there was no way out.

" I'll take you from the ones you love
twist your mindset til it's crippled"

The imagery from that was mind blowning and pure evil! But wow, powerful! The word choice was amazing and it flowed really well.

Loved the structure and the colour you picked for it was great!

100/100

[Frieda P]

OMG I could dance to your review, it got me so jazzed!!! Holy cats Sye, this blows me away hun, thanks so much!

[s y e]

Haha, keep your arse on that chair/sofa whatever ;-)
