Stone the Wall

You breathe it, you swim in it
You love the surge but hate it
Wishing that you can pound it in like a nail in a coffin
Wish you weren’t prone to it
Can’t help it
Try to drop it like a dial tone
Loyal puppy at your heels following you home,
It’s like the snotty little brother
Who insists on tagging along
Shrug it off like a vibe when homeboy throws you a look that’s ill
Try to gulp it down like a Benadryl
 
Boiling, steeping, a scalding pot of poison
I’ll take a splash of burgundy cream
In a cup of black and blue dreams
Chili peppers in my veins
Taste the embers charred in my heart
Forget it; there’s not enough sugar to douse me out
No doubt,better believe,no room for reprieve
Just leave, let me be;
I want to feel it soak me, a cherry bloody Mary
 A hale hell hail hemorrhaging heartedly
Wreaking havoc with no apology
It’s like the tide that broke through the Leveys
A demons bubble bath
Washing everything in its path  
A wrath on tap
Dorothy’s shoes couldn’t wish you away from the aftermath,
It would drown the Grand Canyon
Got enough antagonism to flambé a dragon
Chocolate fudge brownie delicacy,
Too hot, don’t touch me….
I want to plunge in zesty dudgeon
My lion scratching at its prison
Let it claim the wind,
 Be loud as the Sea
Devour the silence
Lick the prize from its teeth
Bust to the hilt with having its fill
Wash it down with a glass of ruthlessness
And be a glutton, unscrupulous…
In it all, when you feel that crimson wave
& rage is the only solace you crave
 Nurse it, clutch it & carry on
Thrash, slam, scream & clash……
Then let it all go, let it fly, let it fall & let it Stone the wall.
