Beatrix Macabre Poet Free verse

Makabre Marionetta

Hey mommy I am here to play
Daddy and brother are on the way 
To the underworld where I sent them
By gutting tummies and dissecting 
Innards go to outwards on the floor
Faces you can’t recognize anymore
Low and behold they still breathe
So I drowned them in the kitchen sink
Mommy come here, don’t run mommy
Fine I will chase you if you wish 
But now when I get you — Cheshire grin
I’m going to take your life to the grave
Your going to wish you had stayed
Sparks fly on concrete from my blade
Mommy — I call through the halls
Mommy — my newest leather doll
Mommy! I call through the halls
Mommy, my newest leather doll
Eyes once vibrant and full of life
Frozen in time within glass like ice
Taxidermist sand fills your rinds
Don’t struggle scream or fight 
Or you will feel a slice from my knife
Mommy your lips quiver and shiver 
Bound to the cold ossuary of mischief 
Where I been killing kids that went ‘missing’
You raised the perfect little girl all along
Perfect at whistling a thanatopsis song
Memento Mori-bund and invictus
For I am the necromantic enchantment 
Tragedy fused elegy viral malediction
Feel the sweet steel mommy, not fiction
First cut was to invoke submission 
Writhe and twist against her sentence 
Stand still mommy here comes number two 
Mama's little chef, stirring a stew of soullessness
the final cut, a symphony of silences, as carmine trickles
a crimson recipe, where every piece is digested
and in the cannibalistic dance, I devour your essence 
Glazed icons of madness, Mommy my macabre doll
stitched and serried in the butcher's gallery of my mind
where souls are naugahyde-wrapped, my taxidermied trophies 
of terror, a cabinet of horrors, forever chilled in time
In mother's dark hymn, I'm the soprano of sin
warbling sweet nothings of blood and bone
as Daddy and brother join the hellish song
their voices silenced by my tender touch
mashed and drowned, the reapers brush

Edward Wraith October 16, 2024 at 9:27 PM Another dark tale full of mayhem and mischief, written in your beautifully macabre style Beatrix!!! What a tremendous terrifying tale my dear. Congratulations on your finish!! Beatrix Macabre October 17, 2024 at 5:06 AM I wasn’t happy with the ending but, it all concluded on such an abrupt note it induced chills, rusty, been working on a good one for Halloween though, have to have at least one old fashioned piece. Favorite holiday lol

Crystol Woods October 16, 2024 at 5:36 PM Yesss! It is you, my friend! Congratulations on placing so high in this contest and in so grateful you entered! I should've guessed it was you with the title but I didn't! I recall thinking that you would like this though lol! It was super-duper creepy and def gave me goosebumps! Beautiful use of language and poetic devise as usual! Loved this! Xoxo Beatrix Macabre October 17, 2024 at 5:09 AM Thank you I will have a much more chilling piece for Halloween idk why but the ending was not to my liking on this one, actually held back a lot, nonetheless it induces chills and while reading heightens heart rate to give you a slight sense of panic. Glad you enjoyed.
