Jilted Enchantment

This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.

Under the moon’s glowing light

Sinister spells weaved at night

She enchants men, luring them in

Wicked power she revels within

Mere mortals shes taunts and teases

She’ll use them often as she pleases

Doing her bidding as she sees fit

Beauty ensnaring them out of their wits

Flowers wilting upon their forest bed

Inside foolish men’s lusty heads

Seducing them to execute her will

Captivating many is her deepest thrill

Come the light of morning day

Sending them on their unknowing way

Bringing them back to her every night

Never knowing their unseen plight

Once they’ve served their purpose true

She let’s them know that she is through

Kneeling before her, they beg for mercy

But wicked she is, showing no courtesy

Betrayed many times throughout years

No remorse, she laughs and jeers

Unfairly treated to this very day

She makes men pay without a say

Warnings to all, never play mind games

Women scorned, revenge with no shame

©️ Laura Bennett

It is a shame that often innocent people must pay for the past misdeeds of others.

Be honest, and don’t play mind games. It is not worth it, and you’ll eventually get yours, along with creating a monster in the process.

This goes for both men and women.

Luckily, I haven’t had to deal with such things in a very long time. 😊

Thank you for reading!

    • 😂 yes, definitely a shudder, indeed. I had a darker rendition of this written originally, but decided it was a little too “much” haha and yes, I agree with you there!
      And thank you 😊🙏

    • Thank you Ernie. Sorry you had to deal with that…I agree, you either find someone who doesn’t play games like you, or you stay to yourself. That’s what most of the good ones do it seems. The others are out there getting married 4, 5, and 6 times lol 😵‍💫
      Caffeine it is! ☕️

  12. It’s best to let the imagination and day dream play as to actually play it out in real time. Folks gotta know feelings are real and payback is even more real and raw, don’t catch feelings if you aren’t about that life from the get go

  13. I feel like I have an overabundance of people who want to try and play with me, but… after that last relationship, my walls are so dang high, I’m like “no thank you” ❤ Very well written

    • Thank you, Dan! So much appreciated 😊 and that happens to me a lot too, I wasn’t a fan of the last few lines in this poem…but sometimes it doesn’t flow and sometimes it does…hopefully you’ll find something you want to write soon and it comes through nice and easy! 🙏
