#antidote
The petals makes its entrance,
While the danger paves its way.
Once it's plucked from the tree,
The poison begins to spread.
The attractiveness of the flower and
The allureness of the poison,
Makes it even better.
I wonder if there ever is an antidote to this astonishing beauty.

tell me why
i cant seem to find
a distraction
for my mess of a head.
tell me why
i cant seem to find
an antidote for my tears
that never stop flowing
out of my baby blue eyes.
tell me why nothing ever works.
not one smile can change my mood.
not even sleep can help.
theres nothing that works --
and i crave for something to,
but it never does.
not one antidote,
not one solution,
not one medication.

Today's the day to make it
Happen. You have the power to be anything.
Everyone has bad days
And you'll get through it
No matter what. So go make
Today the best day
It can be and be you!
Doesn’t it feel good to be you?
Only you can be you! You are my
Everything and my antidote!

baby i'm your poison
and you're my antidote
a taste almost divine
sinfully saccharine sweet
raise me from perdition
with your heavenly lips
kiss me til there’s nothing left
but marks blossoming red
let's let go for a while
don't be shy and come closer
i promise i won't bite
but i'd love it if you did
darling just wait and see
we were made for each other
i'd love to see how well
those hands fit around my neck

If love had ever had an antidote, then it would be all the words that we never spoke; buried by the linguistic silence of our throats.
Few are the poems that I have wrote, yet the pens might as well be Chinese, that I have broke. Our love was once an eagle's wings, custom made to sing hymns whilst we sinned; like mere children, so impassioned by any and everything - Now love is the yoke, both burdensome and binding.

I'm afraid of plucking away at old memories.
They bite. It hurts.
And the more I remember,
The more I'm consumed.
Don't forget,
Poison remains poison.
The antidote is up to you.

Virgo in the ascendant,
Saturn in decline,
A retrograding antidote,
A calculated rhyme;
Overtones of melancholy,
Undertones of mirth,
A surfeit of misfortune,
Of musery a dearth
Faithless Fortune taps her foot,
While plotting my demise,
A rhythm most unruly,
A metaphor unwise;
In minutes and in seconds,
She wreaks havoc on my pen,
A glib faux pas, no coup de grâce...
And so I start again.

_My zodiacal tendencies,
Triumphant in their prime,
Fade to skepticism
As life spins on a dime._

_Buttered parcels filled,
With rose hips and cinnamon;
Heartache’s antidote._

Cradle my body
Hold me close
Need your love
Another dose
Touch is just like medicine
Better when I breathe you in
Heal wounds with your kiss
Transform pain into pure bliss
Sadness makes me cough and choke
You're the fastest working antidote

'Love is the only antidote', he said
'I am also on antibiotics', she wrote
on a paper napkin.
'I wanna kiss you love', he whispered.
Looking in his eyes, adjusting her mask
she slid the Off shoulder, a little more.

I could write a maze
Of metaphors for you
Just to let you know
How amazing you are
I could tell you that
Your smile is the sun,
Sunshine painted on your face
Or tell you that your
Kindness is a language
I wish to speak fluently
Your eyes are an ocean
I could swim in for miles
And you are a rose
That blooms with each season
Your lips are the antidote
For every frog I've kissed
And your voice is a melody
That knows the song of my heart
But I dare not say these to you
For my heart is scared
I'll keep them to myself
These feelings I would
Rather not share

SPLINTERED - the antidote
'choosing to remain Impervious until the reflected familiarity enters the body by connecting, presenting the vast realm of awareness - the unbearable lightness of being floats into the atmospheric sound. vibrating deeply to souls core...are he and I still impervious to others... all the while the dark familiar perched watching our transformation '
with empathy, i understand
as we began the third act,
the moment of *********** ...
fingers at my throat
he would take command.
encased in a tough outer skin
from years of pressing down...of squeezing... his own pain transmuting through the pressure. pushing the anger and hurt back into his own body.
layer upon layer of scar tissue,
release of the useless agony the poison trapped below the surface.
knowing was present when I stood beside him.
as the ritual began,
vermilion borders grazing,
lips, ivory snarling over my skin
i pleaded for just a few moments and denial did not come.
one. two. three...i counted.
waiting for the sacred sensation.
exploding inside this realm of physical boundaries he filled the vacancy in my heart with each movement.
in perfection, gasping as he penetrated
pushing me down into the space,
thrusting essence of his being into me, touching the awareness of my mirrored imperviousness
his intensity pulled me into the void
we launched, penetrating our exterior skin...knowingly allowing the shedding to begin.
puncturing his thick skin,
my fangs drew out the poison...
into my body it flowed.
the antidote is him.
my death was a whim
to my surprise
the antidote is him.

Nuit noire mais belle de Malaga
Empoisonne-moi
De tes hamecons et de tes leurres
Envenime-moi
De tes vers luisants et polissons
Qui gigotent dans le vin du clair de lune
Instille-moi de tes piqûres, de tes ourlets
Des criquets qui chantent au fond de tes criques
Innocule-moi
Tes vaccins, tes rappels et tes antidotes
Cachés au creux des terriers
Des mangues et des câpres qui mûrissent
Sous tes obscènes caresses.
Obsède-moi
De la froidure romantique de tes rhums capiteux
Muselle-moi dans la cannelle de ta souricière
Bâillonne-moi de tes eaux de Styx
Engloutis
Capture
Relâche
Aspire-moi de tes yeux de khôl
Je ne suis qu'étincelle
Infime brindille incandescente d'amour
Dans l'attente fébrile du point du jour.

Never I was asked,
"What do you see on closed eyes?"
On closed eyes
I see you
Everywhere
As the wave of hope
Stirring the soul
One of a kind
That I know
Constant
I would have said

You'll be my poison
I will drink up
Every single drop
Until you are an empty cup
The venom made you sick
Extracted after so long
You might be free of toxicity
That's not all that is gone
Your heart already rotted away
Before the elixir burned my throat
At least saved some of you
Tried being your antidote
Now I feel ill inside my body
Emotions are being erased
Because I love you so much
I'll gladly die in your place

They tell me that one day someone will come into my life and make everything feel right again,
but how can they? I've always longed for things I can't have, people that don't return.
I have never felt the sublimity of anyone's presence like I did with yours, nevertheless, I pushed you away.
I always do this, when I finally find something good worth keeping, the fear of losing it makes me subconsciously push it away.
I let everything get the best of me, not realizing what I'm worth, I never keep what I deserve.
I am brimming with secrecy inside of me, your presence still lingers within me.
The truth was never meant to be seen, only touched and left for eternity to disintegrate.
Even if we were destined to be, I think it's only imaginary.

poison is what you are,
but i guess, somewhere
in my imperfections, i too,
prefer poison more than the antidote.

There’s beauty after all.
A light in this cruel
poisoning
meaningless life.
A sad angel’s
musical antidote
against insanity.

You are my ginseng
another ingredient in my antidote:
this conjuring of awakenings and borrowed wisdom that I brew at night
In the cauldron I keep under the bed
next to the mug with your name
No one knows about it
except for you, me and whatever spirits may inhabit the room,
you loom
over me when … naught but a shadow befriends me
You see these sorrows of mine have me speaking in past tongues
back to times so historic, I need to be at the present with you at a time so euphoric
If only you could feel in a moment
what you make me feel daily
could your body even contain the glee?
You’d need 2 or 3 clones
AS I’ve said, you are my ginseng
a treatment prescribed to me by Karma herself
because the beatings and betrayals I’ve endured
ensured that my reward would be a love that made every nanosecond worth it
And I will make sure to take a dose
every
day
you
let
me.

It kills me but I've never been so alive,
My vitals drop, my temperature rises,
All because you're near,
You keep me on the brink of death,
But if you leave today, I won't wake up tomorrow,
Your my perfect poison,
My only antidote.

waiting for your heart to join in
you were in my veins a poison
in you i saw an arcane antidote
