#taint
fighting my demons rewriting the script, changing the meaning from a sad sad story to one filled with glory but it's hard when every day a new thing screams my name screaming for me to do this and that I am put into these positions with conditions that taint a good time, taint a pure mind told I could find myself in the good guys but they lied, they always do Since Adam and Eve, I should have known humanity is plagued with apathy down to the bone Rather steal and stack then give a meal, clothes to an exposed back walking down an abandoned path

abandoned path
Plagued by crippling doubt, You trudge through life, Hesitant, confused, aimless. Peril lurks behind you. You cling to what you know: A sweet, numb idleness. You seek a badge of courage, But are waylaid by hedonism. Sinking deeper into sorrow, The many colored beast nearby, Whispering, “you are alone, Worthless, inadequate, a corpse." Night’s jaws envelope you, As the taint burns your soul. The beast prowls unchallenged, Leaving the heart torn and gory. About to concede to the Destroyer, You are interrupted in the act, By a still small voice, And love embraces you.

The Many Colored Beast
Photographs of naked bodies Positioned across a bed Seducing one other By the gleam in our eyes Dressed with the desirable color of red Our lips dripping with pure lust Forever but a mere inch away Eternally unreachable As pretend is what we like to play Trace the outline of my body Feel the softness of my skin Dine upon the devils wishes Give in to this lustful sin Embrace the coldness of the night Be intoxicated by our heat Eyes glazed over from this dream Slowly lose your willingness to fight Taste the sweetness upon your tongue Allow us to quench your thirst But once you taste heaven gates You will eternally be cursed Drunken off the beating sound Of our hearts within perfect synch Pleasure induced by feeling Pain Holding on tighter to that chain Bruises and bite marks Littering the skin Relinquish your demons Fall captive to that sinners grin Harsh whispers in the dark Lips pressed against your neck ***Tempt me with such sins my darling*** My dear the night has only begun Decipher what you truly want As it seems our game of play is done Both lost within an ecstatic dream It appears that neither of us have won Dirtied souls are all that are left Without meaning or for reason What have we done? an echoing question The devil replies with a taunting voice My darling you have become undone With a sly grin he walks away Eroding into the dark of night While the tainted souls Together with their hands holding tight A game that they were destined to lose ***We have danced with the devil tonight And it appears he has won.*** ~

I don't possess the luxury to feel alive This broken soul is daunted by mired ties The shell that holds these withered bones and stinted cries Stains rotten with guilt underneath this tainted flesh; will ultimately be my surmise

Where there's a love that doesn't fade there is also a light without any shade. Where there's a purity without any taint there is a place or someone very quaint. _______________

Quatrain #347 - Where there's a love.....
tick, tick, tick i am not counting the hours i've spent with my fingers between yours i am tracing the maps on your arms i am trying to find a way home we do not know what time it is maybe it's 2am and we both have things to do maybe it's 3pm and we have places to be maybe it's midnight and we really have to say goodbye all i know is the world is not on my shoulders anymore and all there is now is the wonder in your smile all i can see is how well we fit in my years i wanted to know what it was like to be beautiful enough to haunt and here you are beside me in the dusk and you tell me that i have entangled myself in your thoughts all this time i have been been trying to find what all the poets and the artists create for and i found you tick, tick, tick how long until you see the cracks that taint me the shadows that follow me around how long until you decide not to stay you distance yourself from the calamity of me how long until i have to beg to stay with me so we can be lost again

My wrongs
. *Her eyes faking yes, yet— Her hands so far away, surmise, That was the day I truly died— Knowing a cipher compromised.*

There were plenty before you, But don't get me wrong You were my first love. The priors i loved but I was never IN Love Till the day I met you, Your innocent smile & golden heart Never will I forget; How you told me I was only your second kiss, You were 18 how could this be; *You were reserved n pure Before you met me.* A year of on and off & we fell IN Love You knew the ****** deeds I did & one day near the end of summer You invited me over; caught me by suprise When you lead me to your room And removed your shirt The pregnancy scare Is what tore us apart, I wasn't there; Trust was broken, & faith in men destroyed, You never smoked nor drank till after this You must have been trying to escape We stop talking Cause you needed space, I never once thought I should text. You felt unwanted n used By the way I lacked to try I destroyed you, corrupted you, And I'm guilty of that We agreed to stay friends, But that didn't work & we went our separate ways Then last Christmas as if a miracle, You came back into my life. *I never stoped loving you, Never stopped hating myself* I let be known That I'll lend a ear When ever your down. You must think I'm being sweet Just to get another hit, But the truth in the matter is; I know you'll never take me back Not after what I did But I still feel guilty And I wish to mend the wounds After all I'm the one who caused Them all.......
