Pushing Buttons

  
Hey o'l blue eyes
is this better way  
over here  
is my silence worth  
more than  
it's weight in gold  
   
Knowing damn  
well after twenty  
eight year's of  
redundancy  
my gold is  
naught but fools  
gold in your  
eyes alone it's  
worthless  
 
"Could you just  
shut your fucking  
mouth for once  
in this  
godforsaken  
marriage"  
finally I snap  
 
Disdain glaring  
dislike from
raging sea's of
blue violent
riptides
drowning me in ocean's of truth

Panic surging  
gut roiling  
fear racing  
tears stinging  
suffocating hurt
 
Faithful
companion's
kiss of chaos  
   
Swirls of grey  
freeze numbing of  
all senses since  
before our  
marriage,
exhausted I
again allow
the ease  
   
Suddenly energized  
with
powerful strength
ready to battle as  
well as
rock calm
steadiness

A soft turn of heel  
our  
eye's locking
mine unwavering
yours widening barest of shift
body bracing
freeze
of Ice flowing
from  
our eye's
clipping the  
flow of word's

"How dare you
treat me like  
the maniac you
truly are  
finally you've  
stepped across  
the wrong line  
   
my line  
   
If up to me I'd  
saw that viper  
tongue of  
venom carefully,  
painfully  
popping out the  
bloody bit of  
poisonous delicacy  
placing it upon  
my own tongue  
   
chewing ever so  
slowly, eye's of  
stormy blue while  
watching you wince  
and whimper  
   
purring as slippage  
of  
your blood's bitter  
bite  
drips a drop along  
my bottom lip  
   
you are naught
but spineless,
weak and inept
definitely not
a strong,
respectable  
soldier of survival
as claimed

more like a
pathetic,
mangy stray
dog  
   
listen real close I  
will not repeat it  
   
start backing
the fuck off
no more cruel,  
demeaning,
snip snap of  
reprehensible  
vileness maybe
it's time for  
regulated reminders

I'll never see the  
inside of  
a filthy, disease  
ridden cage of  
steel or have you  
already  
forgotten the
doc's stern
word's

"private sanitarium"  
   
endless supplies of  
mind numbing  
medications  
drifting while  
attended by  
respectable,
kind and gentle  
folk

best be
keeping that in  
mind my little  
buttercup"  
   
Turn of heel in a  
quick  
stride casually  
tossing  
over shoulder
"best  
be staying out
of our private  
quarters tonight
or all the god's    
above won't be  
able to help  
either one of us  
   
love you most  
said it first  
I beat you  
Nighty  
Night Shoney"  
   
She's pure  
sweetness like  
honey dripping  
from a warm biscuit
