queen of all evil

oh, queen of all evil, look upon my face,
take my pulse and feel my brow,
and heart-break , is what you will see.

if you believe that you have won, this... our little race,
feel my heart pounding now,
please dear lord,.....deliver me.

you are memories of the past,
heart is hurting, eyes are burning,
you are dreams of what could be.

but , my spirit's gonna last,
and although my heart is yearning,
your soul is too black for me.

i will always strive,
there is no retreat,
i will finish what i have begun.

your memory kept alive,
your fate is defeat,
i will drag your hide out in the sun.

then the queens name is past,
though she is mighty fast,
here comes the son,..... at last!

Nice one Geezer. I found it

Nice one Geezer. I found it obvious to be about two people, hard to think it could be just about one. It's a little hard to decipher exactly what it's about, but in saying that it is also well written. I love the title, it captured my eyes right away. I found my self a little hanging at the ending, didn't really feel the whole conclusion to this. Maybe it's just me, I am easily confused. LOL. but , my spirit’s gonna last, and although my heart is yearning, your soul is too black for me. Love this verse. It says the experience has made you stronger, and you don't need the black soul in your life. You certainly don't, my friend, as you're much too nice a soul to have that corrupting your kind ways. All in all, Gee, a good write, as always. Rock on! Peace and Love Katie

"Drag your hide out in the sun"

Oh great stuff Geezer, here you are passionate and revengeful. I will turn-a-blind-eye to the few bits of punctuation... A lovely fencing-like rhythm, riposting and plunging the sword as you dance in your reluctant freedom, that is so expressive, I enjoyed this poem, and was it a son...? Yours Ann of Norway

it is the son

my friends' car is a 72 chevy nova, that we named the 'queen of all evil', for two reasons. we were brain-storming for a name for the car, and named it for one of his friends' daughter. who we nicknamed the 'queen of all evil'. she is fifteen yrs. old, and a real trial to her mother.[single parent] the daughter has to be told to do everything twice. we have had to do almost everything on the car twice. the car is a project that my friend and his son started, his son was killed in a house fire.[he was nine yrs.old] my friend has continued to work on the car. [i help where i can.] i hope that the mom will be able to [win the race] if she can put her foot down, or maybe where it belongs, and that my friend will get satisfaction with finishing the car, and be able to get some peace over his sons' death. [here comes the son].

Awesome

Wow, I love it. Yes the two Queens are very much alike in that respect, and I think both of us are winning our respective races. You never cease to amaze me

I can't really say too much because im just new to this whole poetry caper but what I can say is that I think this poem is well cool! Kept my interest the whole time. and the title set it off! I think everyone has met at least one woman they thought was the queen of all evil....hell I've met a few . Anyway two thumbs up from me mate! Bosscombat

hey gee

thank you for your comments. my 2nd wife i called the 'queen of hearts' because she was very militant and always favored the most extreme punishment for any offence. hence the 'queen of hearts' from 'alice in wonderland'. so glad you liked the title,and the fact it kept your interest throughout. would like to add you to my buddy-list,if i may. beauty is a matter of perspective. gee

The Queens of Evil

Yes My mother could do battle well with words and might seven sisters raised in a little house in North Ontario all wanting to do well from where they came from and did I loved the queens of Evil in the story books of youth and we had an aunt who was just mean but they used her to keep us behaved ha ha Then got to read about Queen of Bathra and the Cocaine Queen of Columbia who ran Miami in the eighties Queen of Bathra was from some village castle in Europe somewhere Think I got her name correct and she would slay village virgins to bathe in a tub of their blood to keep her youthfulness Vlad the impaler the male conqueror had a rough beginning not sure what happened to the Queen Met some cool dragoness's in my time some hard rock women and My hat is off to them they did not have an easy life My birth mother one of them every so often I call her anyway love this poem Love the car Used to know a guy who owned a chevelle early seventies with a turbocharger aweseome primer buggy but could she howl!!!!
