The Secret Secret

Tell her no secrets
She can’t cover all your lies
Might have said he would wed her
But the ring wasn’t her size
Months of meticulous grooming
Grooming grooming
Need more sugar my sweet?
Spooning spooning spooning
Oh, what a sticky mess!

He’ll say that he will save you
As you're fed to his fish
Might even say he will serve you
While you’re flopped on his dish
He sets the rules
If you play the game
When caught up as his pawn
Naught will ever be the same
Oh, what a tricky mess!

Hush hush…internet predators

This poem is a punch to the proverbial gut to any misogynist miscreant, Mikki. Cool energy w/hot flames of high intensity self-esteem. I love your defiant tone, it's got that Ellen Ripley effect. Go get 'em tiger. Rousing poem. A total winner. Love always, my friend.

In truth and in all reality, I'm not such a tiger, Freddie (*)> bock bock. Still I hadn't liked how another had been treated. I think when it comes to others, my claws can poke through the surface. Love to you, Freddie! Mikki

Thank you for your comment, Gary. I'm not entirely sure when this had been written, but I remember thinking of it as a poke, a situation that wasn't my own.:( I'd been overwhelmed with compassion, had she really bought a new dress? Later I discovered it had only been a hoax. Do I have "STUPID' tattooed to my forehead? =/ Keep well, best wishes, Mikki

Oh, I'd written another poem as well about the phishing-people. It had started with a lure to attract the attention, then progressed to the jig. Jig jig jig until our insides spilled out. I never thought that we could be of such interest. It makes me feel as though we'd all been defiled.

A risky business of the heart. When each time a love we start. They say the gain is worth the pain. But when you're broke, it is no joke. And you wonder if your sane. Peace. :) Got a napkin? :)

Oh, what a lovely poem.. Your poems are so underrated Michelle and that is the problem I have with this site... Once you aren't a premium member, a very minute focus is given to you irrespective of your talent, greatness and wisdom. Great, great piece you have here. Thanks a lot for the share
