Submissions by zenfool

intestines and guts knotted up in fright
anxious voices yelling in my head all night
disconnected derision in the words "i love you"
agony like this must be love so true

eat the pain, choke it down
pierce the vein, play the clown
kill your brain, fucking drown...
just eat the pain

that way you won't starve

poetry uttered with a voice of gravel
build it all up just to watch it all unravel
reaching out to you as you recoil from my touch
it must be really good if it hurts this much

eat the pain, choke it down...

all i need is your smile
to keep me alive
drinking in your happiness
drowning in your pleasure
swept away by your beauty

i drift in an ocean of you
no land in sight
just endless waves of Cynthia
lifting and dropping me
pushing me this way and that
washing over every inch of me

and while i slip
beneath your surface occasionally
i'm unafraid
to sink into you forever
would be paradise
