#poisonous
With a little white lie the seed was planted An insignificant untruth by a mirror without glass This facile art is the dawning of deceit As the seed of lies takes root in the freshly tainted soil The darkness begins to sprout up like the unholy love it mirrors Growing into a root of bitterness destined to contaminate Everything it touches before even a leaf is seen It thrusts down deeply into the enrooted core Creating a poisonous root that cultivates the hideous plant With purplish-black jagged leaves that cuts as deep as the betrayed Trust of infidelity which grows so large To cast shadows of doubt from where the light shines down Into the soul of the innocent ultimately destroying life With its toxic blooms and fruit of pestilence

Poisonous Growth
I know you’re not good, Yet I always came back, Drunk on your poisonous beauty. Love might be fogging up my eyes, A curse or a blessing–I’ll never know, For I’m high on your beauty. You wield an invisible knife in my heart, Twisting it while feeding me pain killers, But the pain lingers, as the blood pours, It’s like taking pills–some help, some don’t, I can’t decide if yours do or not, They twist my mind, but which way does the pillar fall? I can’t make a valid conclusion while I’m on them, If you wanted to twist my mind you won, For you got me talking to a shadow on the wall. Your beauty got me hallucinating, Thinking I could reach the stars, Yet you left in the void of space.

Poisonous Beauty
noxious animals are colorfully bright the vibrance and patterns a warning a warning to not get too close that they're a danger it's protection for them I douse myself in all the colors of the rainbow warning the wrong people to stay away and the right people, the people like me will stay it's a warning for some and an invitation for others

☠️☣️ Toxic ☣️☠️
Here I am, awake, alive and in strength, A strength that has encased itself around and still embracing, A new cord, granted to live and suffocate, Mine from the very moment her poisonous cord was cut, Its envelopment has a weight that many broken hearts can't bear, And if you can see that new cord, I can tell you, I'm not there. Oh the costly consequences of her child's protection, What terrors this thin film has endured and then veiled, Such a charlatan's tongue has her actress when she's speaking, Be kind to her if you believe you can, a cataclysm, a tragedy, from her new cord is leaking. The thunder is shameless in its powerful percussion, And brave is the morning with its barefaced horizon, So surely then, one new cord can be severed and forever broken? One hushed voice finally heard, what gilded words could then be spoken?

A New Cord
out of the blue snuggles conversations at an unusual hour hard liquor combined with tepid water warmth in the shelter unlocked empathy relevance between butterflies and glimpses partiality for the odds coffee and tea differences self-assured soul chilly winter, moist monsoon, hot summer grip in sharing meaningful tuning vital veins whispering the tag pecks while being asleep devotion and passion troth of a forever presence A Poisonous Bliss!

Poisonous Bliss
It grows like a garden Lodged within your throat Vines and roots pouring out Blooming with such elegant notes Flowers amitting a sweetness So tasteless to the tongue As the choking feeling erupts To those failing words does it clung Staring into the starlight Eyes swelling red As the tears water the garden Of which words are dyed red Vibrant colours of many As the bees come to pollen Poison is the beautiful As the blooming flowers that have fallen As the vines wrap your throat And the sickening sweetness **** you slow The words stuck within your throat Are yet to be known. Like a poisonous flower garden Blooming so beautiful Ah, What a sight.

Pruning in disdain, irritation, tender pain. The velvet flowers cause you to tread-softly.

Lily of the valley
he latched onto her inexperience, his fangs sank into her skin, refusing to let go until he had full access. her heart raced, but for the wrong reasons her thoughts ran in circles until they couldn't run anymore. she noticed the poisonous leech desperately attempted to shake him yet his fangs sank in deeper - drawing blood, forming a scar. their experience helped her remove the leech, the poison was drained with an antidote - support.

parasitic.
if only you knew how dangerous I was, a poisonous cloud infecting everything; would you still weep for me then? tears soft and hands rough but these touches gentle they warn you how I cut- thorns on a rose, the tighter you grasp the more it hurts; so drop me except, you always return. am I that alluring? worth all this pain? if you think so then stay....

Poi-son-ous if you bite it and you die, its poisonous i show you love love & compassion that you need that i think you need. & you **** it in you **** it all in. but what do i get? nothing. Ven-om-ous if it bites you and you die, its venomous i let you in. the front doors were rusty but you helped me fix them. little did I know, that one you were inside you’d break down every wall i had.

Wicked my mind becomes It plays tricks on me It tells me how to be I try to break free from this insanity But I am trapped I am confused Is this reality? My mind breaks My heart shatters I leave and lie I cry and cry I am lost, will I be found? Who will save me from this abyss? My heart is black, my mind poisonous There is no hope No destination No reason to live No connection Darkness consumes me Now a monster I am c.m.l

poisonous
What do you want to read ? When my heart is heavy with sorrow i pour my blood and convert it into ink. Then, you shower love on me. You tell me my writing is like wine, elegant, beautiful. Yet when i feel nothing but happiness and i pour my heart onto your feet you brush it away. You don't connect to me and now you don't shower love. "Your writing is like wine, elegant, beautiful, poisonous." You don't accept happy because you don't connect to it. You flow like the rest in an ocean filled with grief. You use me like a mat and i serve you waiting for that one day you clean your sins away.

a snake can shed its skin too
you make your twists and turns, indecisive which route to take. i pound the windshields, hands in fists, thumming. you hiss a profane, steering a sharp turn. i choke down a gag, eye bulging, tears a stream. you peer my way, hot breath hitting my skin, droplets of spit splashing onto me. i turn away reaching for the door, the poison violating my skin, acidity burning me alive. you don't let me go, digging your nails into my epidermis, it goes deeper, popping a vein. i scream with all my might, blood begins to pour. you yank me back in place, prohibiting my escape. i stay silent, adrenaline pumping, heart thumping, brain throbbing. you release me, scowl neatly placed on your face, dark brows furrowed, narrowly. i take the chance, slamming my feet on the dirt, breath heaving, i run, run, run. you shout yet another insult, dare i not say, for freedom, i come.

escaping for freedom
I'm covered from head to toe in resin, acrylics and epoxy, Some pulverized rocks my son gathered from the Chattooga River, Now reduced to a burnt ember dust. I added silicone sludge and a little baking powder as well, And once mixed, this dicey concoction is beautifully toxic, So I waft the air and inhale it. Painting a colorful sunset is too easy, I prefer black and white, So with a wooden board the size of a door, I get to work with my rubber sledgehammer, blowtorch A gallon of poison and flammable spray. The passers by have seen this look in eyes, From The Shining or possibly their preachers, You know, the same look that's a sight to behold. Slamming the hammer down with brute force And purposed abandonment, I paint my sunset and wrangle the stars later. A shower won't do me justice>

A passive mouth Should not be able to stand On solid ground In fact it never will Know such a foundation So long as passivity and poison Anger and predisposition Line a tiny row of fragile teeth I will not know Let alone why it bites
