Salting snails is torture
But once they’re cooked then salted
It’s fine
Sometimes it’s the process which makes all the difference

I am not afraid to live- for I have lived.
I am not afraid to die- for I have died.
All I can do- when faced with oblivion,
is stand with my arms outstretched-
and fall.
There's ether in
the cloud at the
bottom of the hill.
Birthdays come and
go,
and they seal the deal.
Feelings change with
the wind,
but time is real.
It's a thief,
and it likes to steal.
Time steals everything
A bsolute

I stare into the mirror,
At the monster staring back,
And I polish up my horns,
And adjust my suit of black.

For such a long time I pretended,
That I was young, and wild, and free,
But I'm accepting who I am now,
There can be no you with me.

I was a poet writing poems,
For a girl I truly missed,
But now I'm just a demon,
With a purpose I can't resist.

But as I stare into the mirror,
For just a moment I can see,
The much lovelier kind of devil,
That you once saw in me.
Next time I wake from sleep
for keeps – from deepest, darkest
slumber – I may come back a little
bird to visit in the summer; my
quetzal pomp, green feathered
grace, singing through my hunger –
when I am gone, I may come back
your pretty bird, a wonder.
Insatiable

Never have I ever met someone who clicks with me as intimately as you do, a little bit at a time my love.. I'll reveal it all slowly to you. My fingers dance within soft locks of hair, my eyes dart around the room with half lidded gazes and I spot my lace underwear.. Cleverly entwined your body crashes into mine, wave after wave of pleasure overtaking the final shreds of logic left in my mind. You gaze at me as I absolutely lose myself in you, touching you and tasting you has released inhibitions that have long brewed. My heart races with a fiery passion that's been barely kept inside, you tell me that I have nothing to hide. I allow you to take me on a trip that taught me what I couldn't fathom before or see, I am absolutely insatiable when you're inside of me.
