Ode to My Husband’s Mistress

Ode to My Husband’s Mistress 2014-08-22T16:03:33-05:00

I have seen your sleek perfection
graceful lines, taut curves, flawless form

seductress in black leather

I have seen his eyes lock upon your shining face
the way you light up under his gaze,
his attention focused upon all that you are

I have heard you call to him with your melodious voice
you beckon him to your side and he comes
you whisper softly and he rushes to answer you

No gentle lover, shrill and impatient when ignored
insistent upon your prominence in his mind
his only respite the hour spent before One mightier than you
yet how you long to intrude even there, only his own fear silences you

How I long to take a hammer and smash your shining face
to dance and laugh as I crush you beneath my feet
damnable thing which has slept cradled in his hand
within the safety of our bed

Oh, foul deceiver! You who promise help and ease
and rob us of our peace
wicked thing, how I wish that I could destroy all that you are to him
but it is I who would pay the price

We share him in an unholy truce
but know that I loathe you
Beware the day of my vengeance for it shall be terrible to see
Oh how I despise you,
Blackberry
