I remember how hip we were
Our old fuddy-duddy Latin teacher
fell on the ice, broke her hip
We howled all day: Good for her
Time passes, now it’s our turn
Slips and stumbles make one humble
Our Latin teacher’s sweet revenge ~
Avenged at last, her long, slow burn
From one scorned woman to another,
no need to ponder, here's an idea.
When he comes back home by 'noon,
prepare his favourite scrumptious food.
Mix the laxatives with sleeping pills boo,
and sip that wine from across the room.

Rejoice my heart,
the sweet moment of revenge you were waiting for
is finally here.
Now is the time to avenge your enemies' hate with
empathy and love!

I was so angry
His betrayal screamed through me
Deafening my heart
I yearned for revenge, but then
Sweetest forgiveness soothed me

Revenge of sort
The old ship has four cranes for loading
Also, unlading has anchored in
the bay
For four days.
It must be hot all portholes are open and the cook
Sweats in the galley it drips onto the dough
Moreover, into the food, cooks transpire a lot and it
Has to go somewhere.
They call him a fool but eat his sweat a sweet
Revenge a secret he keeps to himself.
The crew pick rust and paint a little but most
Of the time they sit in the mess hall waiting for
Something to eat.
Dinner is served, the cook wash pots and pan
Goes into his cabin lays down on the couch the one
Under the porthole, and sleeps till it is time
To prepare the evening meal.
Greatest revenge
perhaps to become even.
Becoming even
to love what and whom Earth has given
and taken,
will give and take,
until we are each even.
Only wonder and no worries
about which gender you are and are not
or prefer to verge and submerge with and without
or even if you prefer them all
evenly
eventually.
Warmest wise investment
perhaps love within and between such events.
Sweet Revenge
On a rival
In the night
Never to be seen again
Sweetest revenge of all
You left me standing there all alone,
a little bit of compassion you could have shone.
Your words peirced through me like a knife in my chest,
I should have known you were just like all the rest.
You bragged to your friends when the deed was done,
in your mind you think you've actually won.
I know I'm not the only one you've treated like this,
someday you'll look at me and I'll say, "oh you wish.
You had me fooled you said you care,
Now I know to you it was all just a dare.
I can't belive I was blind you really were a jerk,
I hope your proud of all of your works.
I stand here broken hearted as I cry bitter tears,
while you and your friends toast and have a few beers.
Someday I'll find a guy who will want me for me,
then you'll realize you should'nt have set me free.
To you and your friends I was just another bet,
revenge I'll seek but not just yet.
You won't get by with what you've done,
someday you'll see I'll have all the fun.
Someday you'll wish you had all of this,
It's your heart that will break and you I will dis.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
What the h***
Happened to you?
after the many times,
you shot my dreams down
after telling me I wont accomplish,
nothing I set out to do.
My Sweet Revenge,
toward you is not violence!
My Sweet Revenge,
is to achieved in everything,
you said I couldn't!
the looks on your faces,
after I've done what you said I couldn't,
is My Sweet Revenge!
It is,
what do you not say
I read the dusk
on your eyes.
Unspoken words
hammering!
A timer,
quartz clock,
ball bearings, pellets
croissant of terror.
Suspicious of the lady
riding on crest
responsible,
for the happenings.
Fear,
hair raising,
turns back the centuries.
We lose,
ourselves!
SATISH VERMA
I appear with a smile at your call
I'm your faithful servant
At least that's what you think
But my cheerful smile is just a ploy
That hides my true thoughts
The ones of a sweet revenge
You think that I worship you
You think that I love you
That's what will make it so sweet
When I stand over you
With a knife in my hand
And a smirk on my face
With every touch
my body gets hotter
with every touch
my mind screams for more
I know it's wrong
but it feels so right
I need him
if not forever, just for tonight
with every touch
I want him more
with every touch
I fien for revenge
I know I shouldn't
but damnit I want to be wanted
and he touches me in ways he couldn't
with every touch
I'm devoured with lust
with every touch
I'm reminded I must
I must give in
to this sin
I know he's not my man
and that's fine with me
I just need him inside me
to take the pain from me
with every touch
I'm closer to slippin up
with every touch
I'm closer to givin up
givin in
to this sin
to lettin him have me
to lettin him take me
I'm givin in
to lettin him give me pain
in exchange for my pain
with every touch
my skin begins to cringe
with every touch
I'm closer to gettin revenge
Everything was fine
everything was gravy
and before now I would never
lye to my baby
but sh!t happens
and now I'm lookin at this man
thinkin bout if I would change it if can
He doesn't treat me right
hell he don't even want me no nore
so now I don't even care if he walks through the door
I look in his eyes
and I don't even see what I used to see
His love for me has faded; and he emotionally abuses me
I need to get over him
get him out of my system
get him out of my head; and that's why I need him......
