She's The Ripper
ymmiJ Mar 2019
For surely she is a reaper of  any man's ego
some innocence lost some deserving it so
She stripping their hearts of their selflish show
She collects them as trophies in a case aglow
Reminding her of how many are left to go
Refining the craft of destroying their whole
Another notch in her unforgiving bow
Men unleashed this vengeful black crow
To punish themselves for ruining women's soul

Protect the less powerful the
women the young the old
Let her ripper rip and the reaper sow
all of those evil men souls
ymmiJ Apr 2019
Back from the badlands
Ripped pride, torn soul, ****** hands
bruised man, repentant lover
Carrying a bandaged heart
Wrapped in lessons, tied in knots

Day Fight Night
ymmiJ Mar 2019

Battles swirling raging between deep pastel foes
Epic daily struggles as light slashes dark
Leaving streaking flashes in futile fights
Finally prevailing the black veil flexes
Showing the power of having no light
Till dawn when darkness sees the light and dies
