I Take Great Pleasure In the Kill

i take great pleasure in the kill
cherish the stalking
relish in the agony bestowed
and true to form never give
the gift of death
that would only give a chance
to some weaker moment
seeking exoneration

Timothy I was taught by life the slander of anothers good name is sort of a killing in itself.I am currently working on not even speaking the unflattering truth of another if I can help it.Also on a lighter note as to stalking I loved stalking the one of a kind or unbelievable deal but found this is no longer of any enjoyment though often a sister or daughter will put me on the case of something they are seeking ie a change purse for a graduating kindergartner.Enjoyed.your inherit kindness never a question.

thank you....the "gift of death" would mean an end to the vitriol and the possibility of an eventual apology which such a stalker fears most...undermines the justification...one has more to fear from the gossiper at a church bake sale than they do by being killed by a terrorist....i am happy we got off the subject that the Grammer Nazis might be scouring poems and back into the levels poetry walks....however it would not surprise me that the DOJ and FBI monitor here, much easier than pursuing pedophilia, sex trade. or children sold into slavery

This is cruelty. The kind of stuff police notice in your profile.

and you evidently cannot swim in the depths of this....this was inspired by a lecture on Emily Dickinson...it is not about physical reality....it goes into the psychological destruction of another human....you must read a lot of True Confessions and True Detective...the key is the lack or refusal within forgiveness,,,which is the next one shortly
