"bugbear" poems
There sits a certain love for a being,
An animal that dwells in caves at night.
Could naught compare to the act of seeing
Something as beautiful as such the sight
Of you, my darling, sweet, and cuddly bugbear?
You feast only in the glow of the moon,
But your victims’ cries of pain, I can hear*
Tearing limb from limb, you care not to swoon.
Peeping through a hole, I spot your brown hair,
It is grimy and splattered with some blood.
Once I strip your skin, I shall have a pair,
To hang lovingly over my mantle to brood.
My darling, sweet bugbear, should you exist,
You would be the greatest game, I insist.

Harvest be gone
Welcome to starvation
Ruins of Babylon
Maypole rivets for fangs
Parse the tricky argot, Mr. Bugbear
You speak such pretty thangs
Adagio for strings
Cry me a mare
Thundering rockets of pain
Life is a factory of scares

The bird song anchors my soul,
Soothing any quiver of anxiety
Keeping my ship stable and steady.
Sweet shrills and cheery echoes soften my breath,
As my limbs gently fall to rest.
Innocent symphonies rippling through the air,
Offering divine headspace
Detoxifying unwanted bugbear.
I'm at one with the earth
Alive in the moment
My stronghold of calm
A serenity so potent.
No drug can emulate this untarnished moment of peace
A gratifying tension release.
So pure and still I can hear the rise and fall of my chest,
Like blissful waves lapping onto virginal marble sands.

One could argue that as you get older, you become a better stoic. Masking your whims, desires and pleasures with logic, reason and meaning. Taking the less scenic route, becoming more utilitarian and the stick that’s up your **** plunges a little further..
And What about the artist that emotionally abuses the kid within and constantly exploits its innocence. Strumming the strings of vulnerability for relatability. Lusting over Monet clouds as painted tears conjure real ones..
Apologies for the preachy undertone, I too buried my cornea in the conneries without a veil, with chin to palm Coveting a utopia. However The dance around the bugbear has since become medieval. I gave it a good hug, tears of tranquility as we initiate the coagulation..
But I need a good light, one that outdoes a good filter. Sending shadows to the creases of the crater. The eclipsed sun carves the frame for a Godlike aesthetic and then I forget to write. Sometimes I forget I’m alive.
