Eroticism of Violence
She tripped on someone’s bad idea
I suppose it hurt some
maybe she’ll let me taste the blood
and tickle the big guns
Shooting dope and wearing clown shoes
she falls on her big red nose
testifying that’s she’s dumb
behind the make up
She looks good wearing red
no need to kill her
but I might still
She slips on heels and eats some boots
so her teeth are bleeding
I want to strip away her veins
and drink pain from the flies
Malnutrition, I taste the bones
I still feel her on my tongue ...

The halls.
Voices in the walls.
Eyes look back at me.
Yet no light can see.
The air releases, where now?
Time didn't heal me but neither did you.
There is a monster downstairs.
Look: you can see the tail.
Scratching and scraping;
The walls stand by.
Door after door,
More?
Some more.
My ears hurt. or maybe its my heart.
What I do know is the floor got smaller and the roof got bigger.
Why water?
Why do you look so grey,
Why do you look so black?
Why water?
Why do you creep toward my chest?
I...
Voices in the walls.
Eyes look back at me.
Yet no light can see.

The walls stand by.
Door after door,

Pathetic
It stalks sluggishly behind me,
I see its figure shuffling awkwardly between the trees.
It’s steps almost apprehensively toward me,
I’m unsure if it knows I see it.
I turn to face it and it freezes,
As if it’s trying to disappear into the trees behind it.
Its silent,
But I can see its chest heaving in breath.
It’s a pathetic creature,
Nervous, sad eyes brimming with tears stare back at me.
Its face is covered in dirt and blood,
And its hands are trembling as they grasp onto its own skin.

YOU CAN’T HELP ME
She looks at me with her blackened eyes,
In the subtle moonlight I can see she has tears streaming down her face.
Her lips are stretched in a manic grin,
But her bottom lip is shaking with the weight of her emotions.
I want to apologize but my voice comes out far louder than I intended,
And she's crying harder.
I try to touch her shoulder, to show her I want to help her,
But she's jerks back like it burned.
I promise I want to help,
I try and tell her this but she just keeps screaming at me.
She's walking away...
In the subtle moonlight I can see she has tears streaming down her face.

I try to touch her shoulder, to show her I want to help her,
But she's jerks back like it burned.

Breathe Her
Her eyes bring an ache to my chest,
She is painful and sharp without apology.
Our culmination is a bloody wound just above my collarbone,
A scarred over bite mark.
My skin is just as new as the day I was born,
She has rebuilt my body with carnage.
The stitches that bind my flesh are held together by a wire that sprouts from deep in her veins.
If she leaves,
she'll take my life with her.
She is painful and sharp without apology.
Our culmination is a bloody wound just above my collarbone,
A scarred over bite mark.
My skin is just as new as the day I was born,
She has rebuilt my body with carnage.
The stitches that bind my flesh are held together by a wire that sprouts from deep in her veins.
If she leaves,
she'll take my life with her.

Envious Pathos
Envious pathos haute tomorrow
Fragile twilight regretful sorrows
Dreams from yesterday's cacoon
Insomnia's memories consumed
Death wandering in oyster shell
As voices whisper, "Farewell"
Fragile twilight regretful sorrows
Dreams from yesterday's cacoon
Insomnia's memories consumed
Death wandering in oyster shell
As voices whisper, "Farewell"

for andrew
you speak like a poet
clever and forceful intentions
hide beneath illusions of a careful nature
blossoming with innocence and pretty words
your limitless and unscrupulous chase
after something you won’t find
meets my paradoxical longing for love,
and prevalent lack of self value
my overbearing commiseration
is the premise reserving my title as plan C
i feel unworthy of being even your last choice
and this weak demeanor of mine;
it makes you smile,
revealing the cards you’ll someday play
and i hope that if all else fails ...

Nine
I remember my first act of violence
outside of the home that is
I just wanted to feel what it was like to win
so I prayed upon the weak
I don't remember feeling anything
but there were lessons
witnesses reported my crime and
punishment soon followed
A few well placed words and alligator
tears found my sentence commuted
under the noses of the gullible
I learned there is always a way out
I was nine years old
outside of the home that is
I just wanted to feel what it was like to win
so I prayed upon the weak
I don't remember feeling anything
but there were lessons
witnesses reported my crime and
punishment soon followed
A few well placed words and alligator
tears found my sentence commuted
under the noses of the gullible
I learned there is always a way out
I was nine years old

bait & switch team
15 of 30
she tells them she's not looking to get involved
that they should just keep it moving
they insist they aren't either
...they just want to be friends
& isn't it just conceit on her part...to presume
but she's so often been driven down this well-traveled road
...knows where it probably leads
...& how it will likely end
her constant response to this accusation
to a sense of over-inflated ego
...is always the same
it might be...I am too full of myself...
...if it hadn't so frequently proven...
