The beauty of evil is the good that transcends it. We are not victims, we are survivors. You are a canvas. Personality paints your eyes red and your heart blue. Nothing more than a mortal shell. Bullocks. Everything we adore is harbored in the backs of our eyes. Blink.

The Beauty of Evil
Watch; everything will be illuminated. Teeth lacquered in glass shards will bite down on plaster hearts, Yet the sweet perfume of your rancid breath Will never give us life nor Death. Watch; everything will be undisputed. Vapid tastes will linger on sordid tongues. Cover your mouths, irascible ones! The race to end has just begun!

Everything Will Be Illuminated
Envisioned - tight eyes fixated on the delicacies of perfumed skin, vile in sinister auras that cannot be smothered. You will blame your victims and put your theives on Pedestals made of Diamond-shaped tears. Cover your mouths, your thick, bitten lips Red and raw. See yourself reflected in the whites of her eyes, Blue lips snarling, tasting sweet misery. Strip innocence from Flesh and Bone, you filthy Pig!

The Agenda
You turn my heart into an old oak The saplings on my branches glow and groan for sweet rain. Envelope me in your satin vines, Let your soft skirts brush along my ankles. Like the violets that reach their faces towards the sun, Kiss me and let me taste Sweet Nectar.

Old Oak
What are words but sounds and consonants? Semantics give meaning. Reason is misleading.    Forgive me, I am dreaming     of a day when trees stop bleeding       for your written words,         your sounds and consonants. What is worth     but a series of crowns and continents?

Worth
The lights are brighter than usual tonight. They demand attention with their glowing, yellow faces. It only makes the cackling women in the corner of the cafe ignore them more. There is an unspoken consensus that these lights are to be avoided. I make the mistake of looking one of them in the eye, only to be blinded with a flood of yellow. O, what remnants our paths leave so silently on our bones. We never can quite brush them away to gather in dust. How I wish I could be the dirt under your fingernails. How I wish I could be the stubborn lint upon your dress. O, how I dream of never pausing. How I wish to be the bitter taste of slumber on your tongue. These thoughts are interrupted by the blinding light above. Pull me from the water only to **** in a lung-full of air. I want to drown in your eyes. What a worthy way to go, I say, what a worthy way to pause.
