Red Queen

No rest for the Wicked……

Tip toe through the blackness

eyes slitted

mouth pursed

stalking your pray

as I stalk you.

Stiletto in hand

you pierce for fun

calling forth evil

calling forth corruption

all with one intent…..

to cause

chaos 

to cause

dissolution

to rent free the curtain

allowing mocking

pale faces to peer through

laughing 

chortling

maniacal grins sprayed red

ruby red

the color of dripping blood.

Fall to your knees

never beg me

for executioner I have become.

Off with your head

I scream

bludgeoning

slashing

covered in scarlet gore.

Sadness is

I revel in this macabre charade

while the truth remains…..

I am no better than thee.
