Hypnotic Poisons Christmas Revenge

She well knew his place of abode,
And swirled inside, a vengeful tornado,
A celestial radiance had encompassed their love,
And then he disappeared on Christmas Eve,
Without a word!

Her heart had turned to stone, her eyes
Flashed around for something to write with,
Nothing, so cut her finger deeply
Her blood flowed freely
As would, a wounded bird.

Wrote on the wall in blood,
That all his future loves, would leave
Him with a broken heart, at Love’s Station
Of Departure, for she, Hypnotic Poison vowed
That he alike be cursed.

He had mesmerized and betrayed her,
His heartless, unfeeling, selfish soul, 
On a windy, stormy Christmas Eve turned
Her heart to stone and blood to poison,
That is what the village said,
And what I heard!


This poem is pure fiction and the title of the poem is of a perfume.  The story is in actual fact the ending of some horror movie, whilst browsing through Netflix to find a movie we wanted to see.

No not at all many, and yet, on Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, Anniversaries, Valentines day - all these days have many suicides or horror movies made, I thought I would just be different, glad you enjoyed my friend, in case we don't' communicate before Christmas, may you and your family have a blessed one, Hugs, Jennifer.

WoW! Jennifer, What a tale you have penned with your talented pen. You held my attention from start to finish. A woman scorned popped in my mind as I was reading your well-written write. He should have thought twice before he got her bad side! So glad to hear it's fiction. Well done my friend from across the poem.Ps, Thanks for visiting me today and leaving such awesome comments. Enjoy the rest of your day:-) Alexis

Richard, but if it is pure fantasy ,there is no connection to how the writer feels, the interpretation lies solely with the reader. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

A sad story. She had guts to write with blood from her finger. Great work. ~~

Hi Victor yes I think her ego was shattered and her revenge was vengeful and hateful, But when fiction takes it's course we can write not from within ourselves but from releasing sheer terror, as was the ending of only 10 minutes of a movie that we accidentally came across. Thank-you for commenting, Hugs and
