"injecting" poems
The warmth of the sun settles, hugging the lake. The dragonfly flies low, hovering above the tranquil water the light seeping through the paper thin skin, it hums across the lake, refracting light off its wings, An array of colors make patterns on the wings, wearing it like a cloak, a rainbow embedded within. The colors tilt and shift as the dragonfly gracefully cruises through life, laying close to the water but letting the air propel it forward, floating between two different worlds, it is like a dream where our thoughts are separated from reality, and are scattered like refracted light for us to assemble.   Through a screen of our dreams, a world can be seen. A world of hopes and desires that is dormant within The light of life just soaks us bare, our skin turns frail, under the scorching glare, the glare of eyes that want you to be, someone that is accepted by society. the dragonfly bathes itself in the sun, the iridescent colors shine on its skin, flying and floating, he’s determined to win a predator, determined to get what it wants nothing blocking its way or paving its path making the most out of life and never holding back spread your wings like the dragonfly that hums its way through life, dipping its wings in the sun to shine, breaking free a life of colors, that we leave locked and forgotten, behind a reality made of black and white, the black ink seeping through our minds, injecting us with ideas of the 'ideal life' where money and fortune, and status define. Bathe your mind in the wonders of the world, soak your heart in life's warmth and glow, and pave your own path, with the dreams you sow.

My knife cuts me. I am scarred. Drip crimson red, my life is marred. I was living in color. Now black and gray. Fading in violence. What can I say? Infected by silence, deafening pain. Injecting the needle, deep in the vein. Feeling the flow and gripping the **** Toes over the corner, fall to my death.

On the Edge
Before his teen age turns the pages he dies a life through years of neglect for the frail bony frame drowsy feet dark sunken eyes wandering the street craving white pure pleasures and dreams sores moon crater arms tributaries of **** star marks parched skin dry bloodied screams of glorious pills injecting intoxicated stuffs forbidden fruits trappings of worldly heaven addictive octane ecstasy tiger terminator of a young man flourishing now depleted sad youth corrupted by a love pursued but lost eyes vacant trailed tears pleading please forgive me mom and dad

You see me as the bacteria And yourself as the antibiotic I see you across the cafeteria Acting psychotic Because of what I find ****** You treat me like I'm toxic But you're seen as normal So I hide beneath the coral To avoid your aggression That will teach me a lesson About correctly guessing Where your fists will go next You tell me I want it like *** This is your way to flex To show you have an edge You single out the marginalized There's no way you'll hedge When you have harm in your eyes And then use charm as a disguise To make me cry over spilt milk Because I am not of your ilk For I am as soft as silk Like the sheets I want to roll in with you Instead you shoved my face into poo As my ***** grew I think of killing myself With my gun When I think of filling myself With your *** While pretending I'm your son And swallowing you like gum Those are my ideas of fun Yours is to tell me to run From your intensely penetrating fists That make me regret my penetrating wish As you brandish the weapon From the movie Inception That launches you into my dreams Giving my thoughts a singular theme As my mouth continually screams I was born on the wrong team You wanted to exhibit your power In this seemingly arbitrary hour So you broke my nose To show off for your hoes An off the cuff Attempt to be tough But I found it deeply affecting When I could feel your hatred injecting Making me wonder if I'd ever be free After I saw the only ending I could see You move to strike me again This time I have my mac 10 That I brought to school For a one sided duel You changed the trajectory of my life By changing the trajectory of my bullets You taught me about strife You taught me how power is the coolest You taught me to move on to your friends Their lives I must remember to end This is the message I'm choosing to send When they sat back and watched the hate Like it was 1938 I lost my sympathy After being treated differently And gained a ruthless anger That turned me into a stranger So I let the automatic gun spray Faster than they could pray For their hoots and hollers I shoot their collars Creating shade in the halls That I make when they fall The feeling goes to my ***** I become strangely intoxicated By the death of those who hated So I go back to your dead body And do what you felt was so naughty And now there is no one even around for you to tell That I ****** your corpse while you watched from Hell

I corrupted flesh with mere words It was as if the moment had Released, Injected, Thoughts Upon a mind inviting it in. I had spoken and then was let in "Could a soul" "Could flesh" "Could a mind" Have been so weak.. Like a voodoo doll, It was like the needle Injecting Movement, Rationalization, "Upon a weak craving mind" A hand full of Strings worded right, "I was the puppet master of word" You were not the only strings pulled \      /      / /       \    \ \        /      /   /        \     \ "Corrupted with words" And even not knowing you were "One of my puppets" Fighting your self or so you thought Free will is an illusion, easily Tainted, controlled.   You were lingering on every Letter, Syllable. Words Were your weakness and Now mine are yours..

Corrupted With Words
By Arcassin Burnham With a dose of energy, Searching for your sick and twisted ways, But you have nun, The sweetest angel I've never known, Don't become a nun, So instead I'm searching for the real you babe, That's what make me so a..ttracted to you babe, If we ever see the sunlight distracted by the rivers gaze, With a dose of energy, I hope your into me, Beautiful eyes, I could gaze into them all day, Swigging my way, Putting your consequences and concerns all behind, But instead I'm searching for the real you babe, That's what make me so a..ttracted to you babe, I could replace all of the bad memories from your head, With a dose of energy, Like solvable patterns, I got the vaccine, I'm your doctor, Injecting you with that.... You know the word.

"You Babe (Energy)"
Stupidity is a virus infecting and injecting large amounts of people at a time. He moves through minds with impeccable speed. Some people, no matter the treatments they receive will never recover. For is an Exodus with has the power to ****** masses. He is a force with the ability abolish revolutions and silence movements. Stupidity is chronic, never truly going away, always lurking in shadows waiting to attack. He is a survivor against all odds. Stupidity is perpetually kicking and screaming, fighting to remain the echo of humanity. Refusing to be ignored and never promising to stay quiet. Stupidity lives on amongst Gods and Kings, continuing to rule with an iron fist.

SQUEALING
I am sitting at a desk, back straight, head forward, eyes open. Blink. Economics melts into white noise as supply curves become demand curves become supply curves, elasticity. Water weeps through the crevasses of the windows and ceiling, mocking my ever fragile existence. Ankle deep in yesterday's cold forgotten words unsaid, the lesson advances. Demand curves become supply curves become demand curves, consumer surplus. A single drop christens my desk and terror fills my long hollow eyes as the ceiling mutates into a congregation of puddles. Rain that felt of hydrochloric acid dissolved the very flesh I tried to escape. God is not so sweet when it comes to sinners, confining me to the barriers of an insignificant wooden desk. The class remains like mannequins, indifference radiating from their plastic cores. Supply curves become demand curves become supply curves, externalities. The only witness to this nightmare,   my last breathe finally deserts me. I tense as the numbing waves climb up my spine,   injecting lethargy in each individual vertebra. Malicious tentacles wrap around my throat and water floods my collapsing black lungs.   White noise consumes the entire classroom as I float in and out of paralysis,   only to open my eyes. Blink.

Your northern light lures me in it's blinding my eyes it's so cold and so tragically beautiful it's roaming alone on a loose highway where no man can stay We all see you, but not all can feel you I am powerless and drained of self-love but if you want to, I'll love you enough enough for you to never feel alone despite our distance, I'll keep you sane and perhaps you can keep me warm We've felt the calamity in our hearts etching happiness away; injecting darkness all over but it's okay, it's all okay now we've found each other and we'll get through it I do not know much, but this I know; all this pain and suffering have not been in vain since it led me to you, and you to me so let's give happiness a second chance, shall we?

*How much do you have to hate life, to not be scared of death?* - ThePoet I'd be lying if I said I wasn't Because I really am afraid But life has only sharp things Wonder if death is willing to trade... Longing ...a splinter Embedded in the recesses of my core Nestled deep, this tiny thorn The source of my disconcerting sore Need ...a shard That stabs itself deep Extract it I will not Think it's worth the keep Miss ...a knife With never a dull blade Stabs itself right through Pain that will never fade Want ...a syringe Injecting the good and bad Side effects loom Driving me quite mad Love ...a stake Rammed into my heart It doubles me over It rips me apart Life ...a spike Impaling without fail Siphoning my soul Through the holes in my mail These are the few sharp things that I own The only things I've learnt to savour I've nurtured them large; now fully grown Always wondered what death has got to offer...

****** Escapades & Moonlight Serenades
I have a favor I must ask of you, and only you: I need your body back, your flesh, your warmth. Your arms wrapped around me, holding me tight, pulling me in- silently speaking the words "you're mine, I'm your's. We are safe." because baby, I have a confession to make I wrote poems in your skin that you don't know I left there. You see my dear, I tucked my quiet rhymes behind your ears for times I knew you'd need to hear my words so soft and sweet, My words: I love you My words: I am here My words: I am not going anywhere. (Little did I know you would.)                     ••• I hid similies and metaphors in the nooks and crooks of your elbows and knees because poetry must be just as good an oil as any for a twenty-eight year old tin man right? **** I don't know but that's where they fit, where they were meant to go.                     ••• The first time our bodies connected, our forces colliding just like The Milky Way and Andromeda will in four billion years- my universe aligning with yours as we lay in the grass you and I both whispered: "This is wrong." For the first time on that summer night I wrote my words secretly into your skin. My words: "How can something wrong feel so right?"                     ••• Baby, I'm looking for home and I know you're looking for a heart so here's mine- written in words on your flesh that you don't know are there. Here's mine- to fill your dark cavern because no heart should be dark, no heart a cavern. Here's mine- my throbbing, beating mess of a heart filled with everyone I've ever loved and there you are on top.                     ••• Then came the days without "I love you." On those days, with my fingertips frostbitten and trying to text, I wrote my words on scraps of paper, turned them into airplanes, and aimed in your direction hoping that maybe, just maybe, their tips would pierce your skin injecting the warmth I once received.                     ••• To the man I used to love, You can keep your body and all the words I wrote in places I wanted you to look and hoped you wouldn't miss.

With this sky so black I must travel through the valley of thorns With no light to guide my way Pain, misery and I must travel alone Beasts wait for me to die from hunger and isolation I'm weak from my mind laying siege to my positive place I give up and lay down waiting for these thorns to consume me like the others who have failed to cross this chasm of eternal nothing. My eyes become heavy in waiting for someone to pass by who has the strength to pick me up and bring me to the other side As my eyes close I see a red light too far to reach and too far to speak in the distance. Eerie yet beautiful lulling me towards it. So different so strange to this Valley of thorns. I push myself up with all the pain and aching. All these thorns injecting into my palms and feet. I see only red as I stumble and fall towards this object. Everything feels wet and tacky. I'm getting closer. I scream in pain as I reach for it. Something sharp and bold pierces my fleshy fingers. I grab hold and my pain subsides. These colors I see disappear. I do not feel misery or isolation. I found the other side of the valley of thorns. That is the funny part, there is no other side. Only this thing to protect me from the thorns. Just like that I found you, a Rose, in this Valley of Thorns.

The Valley of Thorns
We have this habit of making homes out of people who tend to burn any moment. And we keep collecting the ashes, putting them in jars, hoping to save what little remains. We made ourselves believe that other people are remedies; prescribing—injecting ourselves with drugs that walk and talk and breathe And I have long since realized that we have seas inside us, and there are a thousand shipwrecks aching for freedom, but we hold on to every damaged piece.

Let them go if they want to
The porcelain tiles felt chilled against my bare back, each one crawling injecting into the pores of my skin, they scalded into the core of my bones. Water lavished twin bodies, Scorching feet and exploding senses, they ran across naked forms, exploring every inch just like our lust soaked fingertips. We stood close, breath shared between us, Chests heaved in anticipation as we became drenched in the moment. He grabbed my hair in messy fistfuls, Lips dripping with flavor, his taste was infectious as it seeped into every inch of my being we merged, one like the sun sinks into the ocean. I sank into him, giving myself all of myself to ecstasy. Like a drug, I was addicted as each finger danced across his spine. We dove in together gasping at every breath clawing at the rapture stained tiles twisted hands entangled squeezing for release over waves of unrelenting pleasure. A soft cry shot through our submerged affair awakening rolling figures we became still, the rain continuing to tap upon ourselves. A single touch from his lips expressed agony later to come As we lay together on that Still porcelain tile.

Porcelain Waters
You couldn't relate to my life if you tried Degenerate pride, in my pride, the family all died I took a trip, slip from the front door Walking to the house of a man with some more Of the poison of my mother, the mater, my pater, the father My brothers and sisters slumped against a wall, injecting It gets harder I'm a martyr But I fall farther Brown brings ardour In the haze of detestable days, bus journey raves To the estates, I'm in a state, I hate fate Try and place blame, struggle to get straight But straight to the point, you're a mate Pass the plate, and the joint I'll do a line, get straight Straight to the point... Where was I? Back in the house, forgot how I got here The emptiness too much to bear I miss my family being here My mother the seer My father drinking beer I close my eyes, open, hope they appear The loneliness of the kitchen feels so queer I pop a few pills and realise its been a year Since I saw them here Fading to black and I awake in a wrack Fiending for some smack, panic attack Light up a pipe, smoke some pale crack Keep me going on this lonesome track So I pack my bag, down a glass of Jack And get back on the beaten path To the corner where I find her, solemn in a slump Hard night's day, I give her cash and we arrange the jump Pump pump, I dump my junk and feeling drunk Walk silently in a grump, she re-adjusts her skirt and returns to her bunk To her lifelong funk before being packed into another John's trunk The streetlights are cruel in the winter night's haze What beautiful days, in a daze, feeling amazed Clasp my hands and I pray, am I crazed or is this mournful delay A year ago today, my love took my family away

I am the poem I refuse to write. My skin has formed itself as sedimented book pages, quietly injecting our unspoken metaphors into my bloodstream of Murakami, of Plath, of everything that hurt too much to even whisper to my typewriter. I am a poet, and I will type you into the night sky.

Spiderwebs
You promised me love, While you break my heart at the crack of dawn, You promise me happiness, While you inflict a scar in every memory. I beg , let me be your everlasting light. While you fill mine with darkness. I say, please love me in way I love you. While you take pieces of my soul. And I cry , cry for the seasons to change There you are stopping the time. Rounds and rounds of ticks . Recycle on unrequited love Every night at break of dawn. You promise me heaven , While dragging me to the gateway of hell. You promise me comfort , While making me feel empty. I taunt, let me be your every lasting kiss, While you fill my lips with hate. I yell, let me be the one you come home to. While you run away to her... And I pray , oh I pray for the pain to swell. There you are injecting me with anesthetic. Swelling over and over this unrequited love. Every crack of dawn. I fight, so many lies underline in my mind, While you spoke love into my heart. I protest, there's no love , While you confess to me this what I deserve I sway I sway I sway for another shot Drink and drink because of this unrequited love Every crack of midnight. I beg , beg, to forget this everlasting pain...
