#shake
viper slithering in your blood
wants to spit venom
at any who come too close

In the corner
on the fringes
of night’s end
a cat’s stretch
shakes the air.

On the fifth of April 2024, about 10: 23 a.m., we all felt a shake
It wasn't the midnight train; it wasn't a jack hammer
It wasn't children hopping; it wasn't the roaring of a tiger
It wasn't a 747 emergency landing; it was an earthquake
It was God smiling at us to see how we would have reacted
People had panicked miserably; it was the talk of the town
Imagine how we would behave on the eventual day of the frown
We'd probably be crying, grimacing and feeling deserted
No, that wasn't a plane
No, that wasn't a train
No, that wasn't the lake
Yes, that was a 4.8 Earthquake
In the Northeast
Disturbing our peace
Everybody is now scared, talking about it
Everybody is now stressed, having a fit.

Pale fading jaded moon
Echoes of the same old routes
Subconscious fed what we are read
Some consume such hazy fumes
Supposed repeats become belief
To each eye is dry and empty
When disorientation looms, Jesus
Our efforts count when only viewed
Hard to shake off the grey fog
As the pace of life seems lost
Host a place for creative minds
Build upon what you've been taught
Changing layers of further thought
When heavy clouds pull into view
Energy depletes inside over time
Should you stand affront or wait anew

Astonish the world with humanity.
Amaze it with acts of kindness.
Stun it with creativity.
Shake it with exceptional ideas.
Bewilder it with compassion.
Astound it with forgiveness.
Reveal to it the best of being.
Surprise it with a soft heart.
Impress it with generosity.
Light it up with optimism.
Guard it against abuse and injustices.

When she felt
she felt strongly
those emotions
and feelings
tightly wound
cut the wrong cord
and her whole world
will shake

it's a vibration in the air
that leaves tingles in the back of my throat
as my hairs stand on end
it's the electric currents in my veins
the magnetic pull of all that i touch
which draws me in
and yet
it's like a shiver down my spine
a hot mist through my nostrils
with a scent and stench
as drool and blood dribbles onto the floor
splattering
from the corners of my lips
when i wheeze and cough
and it comes in waves
that shake my knees,
my hands
and the flesh that binds me whole
a craving.

Hey!
It's Tea!
Wake up!
Here is your tea
in your favourite cup,
now don't stare at me!
Get up!
Don't snuggle!
It's my last warning! I'll shake it and drink it
if you won't take it.

no matter the day
no matter the time
i will always shake.
in fear i will tremble as a willow tree
in strength i will roar as an earthquake
as an addict i will shake in withdraw
as a friend i will shake with laughter
in silence i will shake
in din i will shake
i will shake in darkness
i will shake in the light
i will shake near and far
in shaking i will move
i will never settle

Who are you people ?
What is this place??
It's ...it's incredible... it's amazing !!!
The most amazing thing I've ever seen
in my whole life
Ha! Ha! Ha! It's mad...yea! it's crazy
It's Night...right!! But here! Here! a
whole City in broad daylight
People going about their business...
faces I've never seen before
What is this place! Who are you
people!
I'm asleep but... but I'm awake, wide
wide awake
I'm here! Now!!! Looking out... at this
right here before me
It's strange...'cos I don't feel like I have
a body or a face
It's like I'm just an Eye...an Eye looking
out
But look! I can move, I can move
And I'm tired, tired of these dreams, I've had them before
What good are they, yea! their
fantastic and all that
But their useless, quite quite useless
You know what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna go up to one of these guys
and I'm gonna grab him
Gonna shake him! Shake him hard!!! Make him help me.
So I go up to one of them, this guy, and he turns and
looks at me
He looks right at me...
"Back in my world", I say, " back there,
I work, I suffer, I struggle
Every day trying to keep body and
soul together
Can you help me? Won't you help me?
Won't you..."
And... and he looks at me with these...
these anxious eyes
With real fear in his eyes
I say "What do you see when you look
at me. What do you see ?
(A mortal man from the world of men)
Why do you suddenly look so afraid ?
What... what do you see !!!"

Experience the ephermal joy.
Avoid premarital pregnancy.

I wish you knew that the thought of being replaced makes me shake
There are so many others who you'd be way more interested in
It's okay, you can go... I'll be here, working through the heartache.
please don't go, i need you. i'll do anything...

Your poison seeps into my veins
Crashing in like hurricanes
Every bone numbs and shakes
By the sound of your name
When you see my face in scattered rains
You end those hurricanes

acid
dripping
bodies
writhing
worms
crawling
in my lungs
bones
breaking
eyes
shaking
nails
scratching
my flesh

you **** me softly with every syllable,
your vocals do not make me shake,
but make me stand perfectly still
to make sure I don't miss hearing even a mumble
come from between those lips

There is a storm outside
The windows blew in
The roof is lifting
The foundation is shaking
Inside I sit wondering will I make it
Down comes the roof, it was carried away by the wind
The glass from the windows has shattered
The rain is blowing in
Inside I sit wondering will I make it
The foundation cracks, I can feel it shaking
Inside I sit wondering will I make it
Down comes all the walls
It all fall down around me, everything every last drop
Still I sit wondering will I make it
I have shed my last tear and cried my last cry
But still inside I sit wondering will I make it
