Silent Predator

I knew a somewhat silent predator …
He said he came for me …
I let slip a jazzy tune written on a finger …
He pointed to sorrow’s friend, a weary flame …
One score plus a glitzy itsy-bitsy infinity!
Sometimes, we lingered with only hope!
He ties our hands tight behind our backs -
His saxophone sermon is keen, like an open grave?
I knew a somewhat arrogant foe …
He follows everywhere I go …
I led him to a steep cliff …
Just one firm push? Sorry! I’m just trying to help …
Like a diamond, I lingered in uncut stone …
I let rip a meal cooked on a long finger …
Luckily, his gluttony stifled a mouth full …
Always outnumbered, - friends, never outclassed!
I cursed a somewhat opinionated predator -
He wishes he’d never came for me …
Never seen idle behind his pulpit,
Broken hopes become his two polished stones? …
Yes, he mocks my sunshine and my recipe,
With misdirection, cunning, and heartburn -
But beware, my dearest naive friends,
Soon, he’ll eat caviar with a fleshy appetizer - you!


… a message from a man who believes in beauty …

---- as well as poetic justice ….

Fraid not in this case he had best not follow old Judy these days. I know this type of person though and lived through it. Now it is pay back time and he won't need crackers. Excellent thoughts here and powerful message that you bring out.
