"intravenous" poems
A bleak motive, turning in a black backwards motion. Fluent in rushing, pursuant in the crushing. Ebony wood, the serenity compared to the knife. A stifling recollection, within the house of corrections. Was it a natural selection, gazing within the angel's reflection? Garbed in white, and in her conviction. A change of direction, now... The resurrection of our mutual affection, Was it over protection, or was it just mental rejection? The pain was only an imperfection, built within all our disconnection. My sense of direction gone within your vertical selection, left with words- sharp like a needle; sticking an intravenous injections. So, should I offer my protection? Moments, within sight of the point of intersection? No, keep on... Keep on spreading the rejection infection.

Rejection infection.
Sustenance for friends and clients; state your case – come one, come all. The matron arms of Social Service will not let you fall. Food stamps make our nation stronger, licked, then stuck on the public roll. Social programs last much longer adding recipients on the dole… Like the Ephesian Diana many are my benefits! Mine the matriarchal manna; latch and suckle at my teats. Yours the client’s right to nurture. Mother will supply your need; Child, you must not fear the future – feed, my baby, feed. Call me nanny, call me Lord just make sure you’re calling on me. Mine are the gifts you can afford they’re taxpayer-funded, worry-free! Once you are latched I’ll keep it flowing like an intravenous habit. Keep that ****** situated where your will can never grab it Let it never cross your mind that there’s an end to all lactation. Cloward-Piven have refined this titillation. Love me.  Need me.  I’m the State. Your well-being is my affair. With your consent I’ll dominate, because I care.

Into the thought of our minds lies the soil of deception, it is utterly a disgusting intravenous injection Manipulation an deception are all around, I felt embarrassed and put my country's flag down I hate the way of how we tend to deceive, and I utterly find trusting hard to believe In lying and deceit everyone's a target, its almost like a cash receiving market Deception and arrogance are like a worldly and deadly disease there is no cure which brings me to my knees In life everything determines your fate, so make good decisions before its all too late...

Amaryllis in the Spring because it's a pure & innocent thing before a summer of rockets, debris of hope—               *the Age of Discovery,               the Punishment of Lust* an intravenous poison of decline forms the new math: eye value minus itself in waltz-time the body is radio-active, there is no such thing as labor saving machinery ask Garbo or Monroe, very happy one moment, the next there was nothing left their machines did the heavy lifting, but one was not the loneliest number

Counting Back From Zero
The reason there aren't so many vampyres around these days is they don't like TV hype and the intrusions of TV news crews. It transpires that vampyres prefer late hours and like low light levels because they're egregarious and don't like to be seen inebrious in the middle of their heinous, intravenous revels. Also, unfavorable reviews about transfusions and the confusion caused by AIDS, at this juncture, has definitely reduced the appeal of being seduced by some crazed and gurgling Transylvanian bloodsucker lusting to puncture the jugular, or any other available vein again, especially when you don't know if they've disinfected their fangs or only licked them after draining their last victim. After all, vampyres were brought up in castles when there weren't antiseptics for gargles and they haven't been taught prophylactic criteria against such apocalyptic viral bacteria. And if you've ever seen vampyres with condoms on their teeth, you'll know what I mean.   It's a scream. Everyone finds them hilarious. It'd be easier to die laughing than to go down with anemia. Also, like everyone else, vampyres hate ridicule. No-one likes being seen as the fool.    And the other reason vampyres are scarce now is that there are so many genuine muggers, hoods, crims, druggies, financial leeches, homicidal maniacs, psychopathic liars and genocidal tendencies to conjure up real fears out there, that there's not much room left for quaint old-fashioned vampyres, poor dears.   But do you know something? Even though they were naughty, I miss their occasional **** I know it was gory, but those kisses, oh boy. We got into the femoral artery inside the thigh. It was ***** But when AIDs came along, that was it.  Definitely bye-bye. Nobody wanted to die.   These are the facts.   So these vampyres were starving and they reverted to bats.   Did a midnight flit, and that's the end of my story.

Salacious mesmerism's endemic impromptu
Beloved I yearn night and day each blood tinged second for the intravenous of Your intoxicating Presence like ripe, ruby grapes crave to be tread and pressed into the drunken bliss of holy wine Like the cow maiden Radha and Princess Mirabai pine for their peacock plumed Blue Lord’s rapturous darshan Like Magdalene’s tears rolling down her love soaked cheeks seek only to wash and kiss gentle Jesus’ celestial Lotus feet Like the great scholar Rumi scouring the desolate streets of Damascus searches for even the faintest echo ghostly glimpse of his beloved God mad vagabond Shams of Tabriz Like my breath liberated from this time bound, earthly form soars free, unfettered a shooting star exploding into the chaotic brilliance of Your perfect Love Your incomprehensible, pristine, pure, primordial Peace

Lotus Petals on the wind
One morning I find my f(r)iends’ eyes are lead; That evening I pace in gullible love. Night falls, I find wished-on stars have fled. With intravenous need their hearts drop dead: The death boyhood knew nothing of. At daybreak I find my f(r)iends’ eyes are lead. I walk encased in a narrowing shed That keeps me hidden from the sun above. Night falls, I find wished-on stars have fled. From the pulse of my trusting veins they’re bled; The needle fits like a vinegary glove. One morning I find my f(r)iends’ eyes are lead. In them I saw lunacy's fountainhead, Drug-sickness, soul-loss, young skin grown mauve. Night falls, I find wished-on stars have fled. Maybe if I’d not trailed they’re pitch-black tread, I’d be whole: A full, unpitted olive. One morning I see my f(r)iends’ eyes are lead; (Nightfall!) I know wished-on stars have fled.

It's a mystery to note that despite how advanced in age we are still we earnestly strive to survive, preserve at all costs this physical entity My sister, Vivien and I watched vicariously as our 91 year old Father tubes plugged in every orifice and cavity sat gripping the edge of his hospital bed gasping for air We didn't know it then, but he was suffering a mild heart attack mentally, tenderly we massaged his Spirit with prayers I thought to myself how difficult it is to convince yourself that you are not this body while warm blood and passions rush through veins and brick by brick from birth we carefully construct, insulate, protect, pamper and cater to the whims and demands of this terra firma I stared numbly as hospital staff wheeled Dad away for further tests Emergency room visits were fast becoming a regular ritual Intravenous bags hang heavy black nimbus clouds stingily dispensing one last drop of mortality my heart a stone sinking in my chest plummeted with a thud into a bottomless inky pool so many poignant, familial memories rowing merrily across the paper thin surface of Life's fragile dream I could sense my mother's intangible presence close by   soft brown sepia eyes gazing tenderly through the partially drawn diaphanous veils chariots swinging low father's condition is stable now though they released him for the holidays the appellation, "Comeback Charlie" our nickname for his extraordinary resilience and vigor didn't have quite the same ring something missing, that spark, stolen reflected in hollow, vacant jack-o-lantern eyes I prayed as we prepared a tropical fruit basket to cheer him up that he would clearly see an Angel not a thief standing eternally by his side

Salacious mesmerism's endemic impromptu (reworked)
Slipping into consciousness exploding with pain. So much time spent, praying to this porcelain god. Asking why Begging for a break. Those rare moments with the pain fades, and the absence feels like the strongest intravenous drug ever plunged into your veins during those late night ER visits that have become ever too familiar. With sheets for walls. And Judges for Doctors. And cries from children echoing off white sanitized walls. And you slipping out of consciousness and into drug induced escape. As the ceiling panels become beautiful, and the scratchy sheets become cozy, You breath a sigh of relief

Analogy
What choices led to this? I lost track in track marks Lined arms and veins missed Addiction happens quick Cant live without my fix Infatuation with intravenous bliss But theres a constant fear of being sick Restless legs peeling skin from dry lips Why cant I just overdose and end it? Better people than I didn't make it I just can't seem to die my empty life ticks Rolling back my eyes staring deep inside where I like to hide my bruises If the good die young then I'm eternal as the sun rise But I don't shine, my darkness is a blinding solar eclipse The blood rushes in my syringe the plunger delivers me to the heavens This feeling feels too good to overcome I just accepted my life for what it was Even if this feeling that I love Makes me lose it

In the murky clots of consciousness between sleep and awakening we clung to an icy overpass railing spitting down on graffiti camouflaged train cars as their charging rickety boom carried our uncontrollable laughter toward destinations unknown Our spirited tenacity was matched only by turbulent winds whipping us into submission Forcing us to brace ourselves to avoid getting swept away You tumbled backward off the slick rounded bars of the overpass rail and bit your lip so hard I thought you would need stitches but you kept on smiling as the blood plummeted dripping all over the tracks in a sanguinary frost Feeling arrogant and invincible like two avante guarde dog soldiers we marched past our old urban battlefields and grimy fast food cattle fields closed in on a ramshackle bar and drowned our taboos and inhibitions in foam drenched pitchers until we closed out that ramshackle bar We gleefully stumbled wearing hazy street light halos back to the duplexed squalor of my doorstep Sloppy kisses stained with the scent of cheap beer completed the night as we tore into each other and made love on that ratty creaking mattress in the front room All I had at the time to rest on was that ***** old bed and you until several months later when they confined you to pristine hospital beds instead Intravenous deceptions and false hope blood tests followed but even with all the motions of our modern medical drama we couldn't avoid you getting slowly swept away I regret never having the strength or honesty to visit you just as I regret never telling anyone about you and I I go hang on that overpass railing sometimes remembering the knock-down-drag-out-reckless perfection of that night knowing that my agonizing love for you should have been something I proudly proclaimed to the world Now the trains carry away my atrocious wails as the weight of my shame nearly pulls me onto the tracks and spills my insides in sacrificial testament to all we've lost

Walk with me into the universe The chaotic mind of a ****** Speak with me as if I am your father or mother Take these pills, sip the syrup Inhale, exhale Tinted prose, purple and proud Leaning with the lean fiends Tumbled from a cloud, cotton mouthed The aspirin works well, **** the pain Again and again and again... Fluidity and the fluoride fangs in your heart Mind-control of the masses, missed me Yet I feel amiss Craving the release, intravenous peace Smoke my peace, from my piece Brown rock and the fire is ceased Morning beckons, return to safety These streets are no place for the sensitive soul Handfuls of pills are gloves in the ring The bell rings, another round We're drinking now Numb the pain, all around, the round That sweet brown, bring it around Sing it, the sound, hit the ground and spun me around Come down Never come down This flight is space bound.

Painkillers (Warm Blankets on the Souls of a Thousand)
Sweet, Sweet poison. I long to feel you in my veins. Burning petals take me to new heights Where God himself can feel the flames. Roots that take where others don't dare, A direct line to this ever beating heart. Coursing through my every limb, Until our worlds collapse and part. Aroma so sweet, Who could resist, The stinging pain that is your kiss? Monster of dependence. Queen of misery. Piece by piece you took away What once was known as 'Me'. What initially swallowed away my pain Has only brought me more. A bandage left on far too long, Will account for this festering sore. I am a ghost, A myst of being. I'm there in body with no soul. Slowly, yet steadily, You suffocate life, Until of what was, bares witness your toll. "Indulge," you say. "Taste of what I give. Take me in with every ounce Of gluttony, Of desire, Of sin." So in excess I delved into your arms, To hide from all my fears. Little did I realize your mission Of wasting precious years. It wasn't until you finally killed me, That I truly became awake. At last rid of the serpent slithering. The intravenous Eve of the snakes. Alexander found his use for you, Some many years ago. Let us hope my mistakes, My longing for love, Keeps others from feeling your blow.

Splashes among the splatter of hot water and shampoo. A speck of the tear-free latter, lathered in thin grey flecks, slips through his receding hair. Preceding their retreat into the air, countless droplets of the former had waited - heated, squeezed, and leaking through pipes, bound together, flowing causing groaning - the pipes growing then briefly reigning over the dirt and sweat burrowed in the furrows of his ever-increasing brow, grey water falls from grace, diving down into the drain. It leaves behind a trace, filling up the place with a cloud. now the curtain's flicked open, I hear him step out, a towel drying and his subtle sighing at the humidity, or is it humility toward our conversation? (I can never recall what we ever discussed, just that the door didn't keep us apart) He reached for the handle the door creaked open a crack I looked up at the mirror his crooked smile looking back then I caught sight of the sleight'd man trapped in the glass now wiped clear by his hand A fearful idea passed into my thoughts: The image he's got of himself's slightly altered. My words faltered watching his switched, stubbled chin *His lips' starboard grin won't sit right with him, and he's left unaware of just where his cleft crannies though he's sure his reflection's his face, it's uncanny - he is different to me - the himself that he sees* Asymmetry revealed to me all he has known he has even been is not the man his son has seen until - I averted my eyes, as he walked to his bedroom heard the noise of TV as he watched and he changed behind closed doors ...later... More doors close distance grows between us, though our intravenous love keeps us reaching ever outward toward each other teaching our open arms to also grow create a closeness while letting go It is an indulgent weakness, our shared blood is pumped through slumped shrugging shoulders the years make us older / the tears keep us young as flexed muscles holding us together bulge in a great show of strength

The pungent aroma of sandalwood is a poor diversion for the administration of intravenous ****** One may be spellbound by whispering seductions which can lull a person into a golden-brown complacency. Overdose captivates the attention, and the reality of fantasy pervades the human heart in the same manner as an arrow from a crossbow which strikes the soul in Sherwood Forest. It’s a texture like sun. But many are the afflicted under her psychoactive propagations. Now you truly know what it is all about. Or do you?
