Femme

peto

He dived in with his usual haste

A layer of almost toxic waste 

Though bitter he's acquired a taste 

Hypnotic femme fatale 

 

A gauntlet run brings many blows 

Her handcuffs come with ribbonned bows

She brought him heat the night he froze 

Hypnotic femme fatale 

 

She has the spice to keep it cute 

Her orchard offers varied fruit 

A six inch high stiletto boot 

Hypnotic femme fatale 

 

A teller of the tallest tales

Hot needles under fingernails 

Purrs with her old cat o nine tails 

Hypnotic femme fatale 

 

A shield to block a life so tough 

The games she plays are all so rough 

He still could never get enough 

Hypnotic femme fatale 

 

Applies her love with so much force 

Her radiation poisoned course 

Won't let her go despite divorce 

Neurotic femme fatale

    Wow utterly beautiful although incredibly sad, falling for the wrong lover and even worse marriage with must be in the toxic zone finally turning ice cold in a divorce, a harsh lesson for anyone, I'll take my hat off though because you have expressed it so well not just in rhyme but in imagery. 💖

    But also remember dwelling or being bitter makes them win every day. We only learn through pain and the only thing to do is rise from the ashes to choose a better lover.

        Ouch!! You just described destructive love so well. As sad as this is, it's oh so relatable!! I do however, feel like I'm the one with the six inch high stiletto boot...literally!! But I promise I don't cause disasters...unless they're "good" disasters! 😉

        • peto

          Ah
          But what if I got her AFTER the divorce
          Puts a different slant on it maybe
          Thanks very much LIZ

              Bringing in a hypnotic duo of rhyme and imagery, this is a great poem! Though she's toxic, he seems to have fallen for her. Wonderful and hypnotizing read, Stevie!

                Those with a soft heart have to be careful who they share it with.
