Mistress
Your lady perches
On a rusty throne
Broken and ugly
Her vigilant, swollen eyes always
Watching me…every move
Waiting for one more
Moment of disparity,
The edgy scepter of doubt,
So she can move in
Be your savvy she devil
With the razor studded whip
Her grip
Brutally stitched
To your marrow
Your central nervous system
Your mangled spine.
I imagine one day
I’ll open the door
And she’ll be there
With a glass of whiskey
And a barrel of bullets
She’ll pull the trigger
Because she loves you...
Without causing a tremor or ripple
In her glass
Of Windsor Canadian North American Whiskey.

Fine work Virginia. Some of these references really hit a nerve. That "edgy scepter of doubt" suggests some ambiguity, which is always welcome. Always keep the reader guessing baby!

she sounds like an over zealous
guardian angel, taken to the dark
side - should have stuck to scotch..:)

This makes me think of some campy or gory scene from some Tarantino or Bruce Campbell movie.
And at the same time...it reads with tinges of true horror with undertones of obsessed fan/Manson disciple mentality wrapped around it. A strong write and also a terrifying one in many ways. Be safe! Whoever this is sounds dangerous and/or downright scary.
Great write, as usual. :)

The mistress is a cunning one. She waits for the moment to rebuild her broken throne. But what does she have planned once back in power?

I would love to see more of this. Its riveting, gut churning as in mystery, it's sexy & nonchalant , it''s heart punching, soul stirring & a memory provoker. What will she do if she was there awaiting? Will the trigger be pulled on you or herself? Or will you both surprise his ass ..but how? Hmm. Ok, yes my mind has a tendency to open sometimes, but nonetheless, I enjoyed. Maybe a little too much however.
