#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

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.

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

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?

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!

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.

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.

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....

your love was enough
to devastate my youth
your love is enough
for me to try again
your love is enough

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

the act of
poisoning until
you
are no longer
vulnerable
to you
to your
heat, heart, humor
taking you
piece by piece
until I can
stomach
you
whole

dripping decadent words
laced with poison
down the throats
of her lovers
she watched as their fantasies
became their nightmares
and laughed
while they screamed

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.

you claim you've changed,
and maybe that's true,
but not where it matters,
not where it's due.

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.

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
