Don’t look at me with his **** in your throat
I don’t have the heart to see the joy in your eyes
While you guzzle down greed's breed seed.

Don’t moan at me with his **** in your ***
I don’t have the heart to see the pain in your eyes
While coal miners ******* into submission.

Don't cry to me when you inevitably ****** him
I don't have the heart to see you regret your life
While you beat, burn, bury, and drown mankind.

I don't remember when the mask became my face
Or when sight stopped, despite my seeing eyes

And though I dwell in darkness
I do not fear the light.

And though the darkness dwells in me
I do not hate the light.

Take comfort in the sightless
Aimless
Blissful wandering

Like sunlight filtered through
The small holes for the support
Strings of those metal blinds
The memory of us together
always hits me right in the third eye.

It's uncomfortable and distracting
And I’m constantly moving my focus to get away
But all I really want is to be able to say
That I'm glad you came back.
Woo!

And in the mind/desire mire I set fire
To love's buyer and hide in melancholy’s pyre.
Because the flames consume
Love
Lack
Listing in seas with deep depth black
Soul and song sings some sorrow laden lyric
Because when all is gone there's just
me
Echoing from the deep
Unable to beckon eversleep
Unable to summon the courage to face
What waits when warm embraces erase
The space I’ve put between me and the world.
Joseph Rice Dec 2019
At the fountain's edge I see you
Resplendent in your cloak of acceptance
Smiling down warmly to the ghouls
Swimming in the pool of fate's fountain.
How I wish to join that naïve bliss
And feel the love the world can offer.
Joseph Rice Dec 2019
The ocean of my desire aroused by
The motion of her hips gyr'
Remains restrained within
Heart chained by pain
But my fear of being near her
sheer beauty makes me veer
From hope and float
With smoke to note
How harks the dark
When isolation marks stark
Regret's presence
And resonance.
When will my love fade? I think of her every day. And every day I break a little more.
Joseph Rice Dec 2019
Skin and meat and hunger
Let me eat that flesh you detest
I’ll savor the chewy scars
And sour infections
Savory salty sweat wets my appetite.
The way it slides down between your *******.
Because despite your flaws
It's all delicious.
But ****** if I'm not hungry.
