#wretch
A ceaseless motion hither and yonder like the jumbling of blind ants in a narrow path of wet pheromones. Backbreaking labor A cruel slaver lashing his whip that cracks painfully drawing blood from the back of the hapless wretch. A joke that amuses no one An insufferable itch demanding to be scratched so hard that it bleeds Then in a moment snuffed. Asphyxiated and forgotten.

Life
In the time before, I was empty, miserable inside, A wretch whose every smile was war, Whimpering for a curtained place to hide. The day, desolate; Night, in its black stillness much the same. Pitched pain, itching for an exit, Legs set to cease the heaving hate and blame. Now, I feel my heart Beating love-blest power through my chest. Before unfelt, its bucking start Divests the owner, all along mere guest. Symphony, rise, crest, Condescend to my low-sighted view. I sleep to wake, straight-up obsessed, Eight letters and a period for you. Careful now, don’t jest, Lest my past peers profitable heist, Dethroned selves sing out through the mesh, Anguished, set to vanquish their sole poltergeist. So, patch; never cease Paragon of love’s delightful dawn, Persisting for the barest piece Of you, the whole of why I am not gone.

Soul Birth
. Though my boat is tossed high upon these crests, I fear not the deep sea where the sailors souls rest. Cast adrift, alone to float, my mother Sycorax had planned. But lo! I reach sanctuary and dance ecstatic on the sand. My grotesque form I treasure but loneliness soon must end. Yes! A monster I might be, but Caliban needs a friend. Paradise is mine and ripe. Behold! A kingdom and a home! The sun blisters all day long, oh Muses why am I so alone? “Hush boy! Careful of thy wish, the scheme is so much grander. For Prospero prowls the island with his witch daughter Miranda”. Run ugly Caliban. Run away. Disappear, you must be brave. For the Wizard has loosed Ariel, your wretched body to enslave. The girl holds you enchanted, with promises of fair romance. Feel her pull puppets strings, watch her make You dance. Oh Caliban! What darkness befalls, a prisoner tithed with no trial. Yearn, dear boy, for isolation and the loneliness of your Isle. © Pagan Paul (28/02/17)

Caliban
For all the poems written on the subject of unrequited love. There are far too few discussed on being the desire of the affection. A difficult topic to build a foundation on. Considering, you're suffocating in debilitating silence. How could I know if the words were never spoken? Like counting birds against the blaring sun, its almost an impossible feat to accomplish battling a massive lack of knowledge. --and with the cataclysm raining down on your shoulders. Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? A silent hope built up into a concealed bonfire. Standing alone. Burning alone. Impossibly alone. I didn't know. The words never left your tongue. No promises made No catharsis expressed. Only lustful secret clutched to your chest. Sometimes solutions are not as simple as they seem. If only I'd known, If only I'd been told long ago; then maybe this wretched ending could have been something beautiful instead of a juvenile mess...

I Didn't Know (revised.)
I drink and lust, I smoke and cuss. But, my heart only finds Joy In Jesus.

flipside
The likes of you I can't describe, Yet I love to eat between your thighs. The melody you spake to me Unfolds my greatest sovereignty. I crave to quaff all of your spit, And swallow every drop of it. Don't cheat me of your tasty flesh, Those bare and supple ****** ******* Your eyes that follow my firm gaze, While we kiss and lick and misbehave. I need to feel each piece of skin, Smashing girl and boy parts over and over again. It's such a treat to eat you whole; I'm obsessed with eating 19-year-olds.
