"viper" poems
Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nursed it back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?" And the snake answered, "Look, ***** you knew I was a snake."

The Woman and the Viper (A fable by Aesop, via "Natural Born Killers")
I am Christian. I believe in the Trinity of the Holy God, The Son, and The Spirit, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the savior of mankind I own more than three Bibles I teach Sunday School every week and I pray every night. I am Christian, And as such I Hate queer.... Phobia. I can not stand intolerance And I cry at hatred, Blood running in the streets, Fear running in veins, Running away from the truth. I am Christian, yet There are bloodstains in my Bible And the prayers on my lips Are for forgiveness for who I am. The entire story of ***** is Crossed out, blacked out angrily In the dead of night In all 4 versions, Leviticus is blurred, Wrinkled with my tears, Soaked with my pain. I am Christian And I am not homophobic. I know my church won't recognize Non cis-het marriages, Leaving entire worlds of rainbows in the dark The higher-ups insist Weddings are white, shiny, husband-and-wife, happily-ever-after affairs That shove me and my friends, my family, my lovers, Into closets of heavenly wrath and Fire and brimstone sermons, Locked into personal hells of shame And confusion. I am Christian And I am not straight. My God doesn't hate me for who I love, He loves me because I try not to hate. So to the homophobic Christians, I ask: Who is your God? Who is your God that supposedly condemns people He has created in his own image? Your rainbow picket signs are nothing but a cruel mockery of a covenant Not truly shared by you. Your tongues are no better than the viper's who called Adam and Eve to sin, You are the vipers of my world. Do you think you avoid judgement When trans teens are killed By the bullets you spit with your words? Who is your God, That tells you to picket the funerals Of those you hate? Who is your God, That refuses to let you open your heart to differentness? I am Christian, And I don't need your permission to Love my God. Take my scars and tear-stained Bibles, Listen to my fervent prayers, Watch my lips tremble when I listen to my pastor. I don't need your permission To love who I want, In fact I don't want it. Take my midnight screaming and fear of coming out, Listen to my frantic pleading for a hand to hold, Watch my eyes linger on her chest. I am Christian. My God doesn't hate me for who I love, He hates you who refuse to love While you carry His name, if Not his blessing. So I ask again Who is your God? Because mine loves all of me, All 5'6" of queer pride. Who is your God?

We use video games To make video gains Until the screen goes black And reality attacks We lose all our progress In the deletion process As we level up we devolve Around the TV we revolve The more experience we gain The more moments we lose Our memories forever stained When this is what we choose Our life inside a hard drive Our life becomes a hard lie We revel in being unwise Rage quitting life We enjoy strife And avoid pesky light When we live in the dark With consumerist plights We are all marks Video games balance in a zone Between game and art The frustration starts When art is confused for games And games mistook for art People take things to heart And spitefully spew viper venom If this is where games send them Then why do we play? We have no other way To feel accomplishment In a society that worships competition Video games become the second edition Of a life filled with loss On our pixelated cross We are murdered millions of times Reminiscent of the millions of lies That make us losers in the real world Video games become our shiny pearl The computer displays defeat When our lives aren't complete Because we need someone to beat Not realizing our lives are conquered By frivolous topics we've pondered Our meaningless life squandered And hope comes in the form of new releases While inside our faulty headset is in pieces

The Foothills of Colima
Asylum In the madhouse on beds of daggers we slept like crickets chirping to ourselves while they tried their best to make us cannibals. The nuns were worse than lawyers, praying like accordions, tracking their sins into our soft wax skulls, wheezing like roosters when one of us cried, laying the greasy ribs of Jesus on our plates. They kept you behind door number six. I'd go to you with a stolen key, when the noon smelled bright as carnations, when the nights were more purple than the jacarandas. You spoke of your father dead of snakebite, a clockwork marvel with his million-dollar suit of skin, of your mother with the viper between her lips. I remember your kiss astringent with reason as bitter lemons, and the way your hair blew back from your dog-brown eyes like poisonous smoke from the oleanders. I thought these things as beautiful as angels whispering in the dahlias when I was lost in the asylum, when the doctors did all they could to see that we ate each other down to the bone. April 2022

the narrative does not cling to classicalism of stating whether the pronoun usage is either singular or plural or both to allow an armchair of expression; after all... there's enough for us to bypass the classical philosophical debate about subject and object, simply investigating pronoun usage in relation to singularity or pluralism. there’s a theory where poetry came from, one read: cleopatra wanted to hear sweet-nothings calibrating a razor with a viper’s kiss... another read: she báthory? she báthory? she the one that turned milk into blood? she can burn in hell. i thought we were un-dialectical in the realms of concern? no... you see... poetry came from punctuated-impressionism... or a fear of it... punctuation of course, not from the impressionism... poets fear punctuation... give them a semi-colon and they treat it like a sidelined line of verse. this is poetry in mathematical equations: i had a pear(,) it was a spare(.) i had a care for traffic(-) so i missed( ) the expressions and started using an obelisk to quarter up the mammoth into chop suey... poets simple say: next line! when prose says next paragraph and the prized execution of the 100m sprint . . . (.) that’s universal alpha romeo with alfa bravo charlie delta (echo)... come on in the u-turn... give us a smile......... :), poets says... i need breathing space without sentenced timing of silence, for the toad to feed inspiration and envy! no wonder you came with the alpha - zulu alphabet given that you used ɪɡ and zoʊ... so tell me... where’s this copernican west upside down (this heliocentric west with east being the big bang)?! i'd swear the thing stopped orbiting in circles and a thing that's on it's thought started to become orbital... a fashion sense of the 60s 70s 80s 90s repeated - that's right, the whole thing became heliocentric and we became narcissists instead of solipsists in the geocentric system of worked-up plagiarism with adequate excuses.) it's here it the poets apprehensive of punctuation symbology and instead writing "sparingly," to write, e.g.: i hate         this love                 affair claimed                      to be           the world...                  i rather                          chisel chequers                          into geometry                      of x4               90º. makes sense poets begot fear of punctuation and not grammar, they serviced to explore nothing else, leaving grammar open long enough to ***** mathematics in... remember... poets are firstly concerned with punctuation... secondly with grammar... philosophy for poets is grammar; **** i'm um um so drunk i'll need to revise.

Skilled in the art of bloodshed A rogue of the ancient clan a sinister viper striking silently with a deadly hand The sound of his blade in the distance Is your only chance of escape Before the Ancient Assassin comes to sever your life away Nothing to live for, nowhere is safe Stick to the light if you wish to escape Fear not the weapon but the hand that wields it Beware the shadows if you value your life Silent and deadly he strikes in the darkness Beware the shadows and you may survive Once the proudest warrior in the clan of the Black Sand A master of the prehistoric art of hit man Black he feels inside, no beauty left in life Vengeance and destruction - his last will and command Nothing to live for, nowhere is safe Stick to the light if you wish to escape Far from the shadows, stay in the light For when darkness surrounds you, you will surely die. Fear not the weapon but the hand that wields it Beware the shadows if you value your life Silent and deadly he strikes in the darkness Beware the shadows and you may survive

Beware the Shadows
he only thinks you're pretty when you cry when the aching vulnerabilities sting like red welts along cheeks that are white as teeth only then are you pretty, when the red blood tears fall like soldiers in the war of peace and he kisses the place the bullet exits he promises he will still love you as the lion that murders the lamb when the sky bleeds, crimson echoes down mountains of death his viper hands snake round your hips and you just don't mind, you just don't mind anymore

pretty when you cry
fangs dripping poison—dripping with death. yellow eyes slither stalking, so hypnotic in their convincing; in pursuit, our every step pressured into flight’s direction. a nightmare’s seed planted beneath pillow, following into dream. the serpent’s coil riding headrest’s rooting *********** even slumber thought safety infected. a viper of self-consciousness, the familiar of societal impositions fuelling reflection’s hostility; its venom—an injection of insecurity. fangs dripping poison— fangs dripping with dishonesty.

Slither Stalking
I had that dream again The one where I'm drowning Heavy waves weigh down on me As the undertow pulls me deeper into the sea Time slows down till it comes to a halt I'm unable to move my body But my eyes can still see I see the moonlight piercing through the thick blue water Like the knife you gave me which I held in my back for all those years Never did I pull it out for I feared of how crippled I may become So I endured the pain Over time I learned to enjoy it The smell of the poisonous iron that flowed through my veins It poured out like a river when you'd sink your nails into my flesh We'd make love as if it were our last night together You'd let out a moan of pure ecstasy every time I bit your neck You were my lioness And I was your viper The deeper I sank The darker my vision of us became As if it was inevitable for us to fail just as Icarus did I let my heart blind me from my true purpose Your deceptive ways electrified my adoration for a future that did not exist You gave me that psychedelic high No matter how hard I flapped my wings It didn't keep the Sun from melting the wax that kept us together So I fell to the center of the Earth Into the dark blue sea Sinking deeper and deeper to the darkest depths of hell Copyright © 2013 Eric James Olivarez

The Lioness and the Viper
Percepts of enlightenment & civilization to encounter The grim aftermath of tales unspoken from the galaxies afar Betokening Indian tales of deeper truths than ever, For the Great Spirit still swirls in gestures previously milder, At a snail's pace and surely winning the pursuit among souls or Is example better than pre-conceived precept? or “Is that a dog in the manger?” Now cherishing the viper? The human dilemma between liberty & authority? “Has mythology now become psychology?” A dingy white color in disguise of tranquility To suit the blemished features of the 21st century With fair women & brave men turning fables into verse, Yet Socrates’ doctrine about death bespeaks a wafture so callous! The new-age “iron claw” screams nastiness in time and space. The pretences of mankind like the puritan; Mars trapped in the net of Vulcan, Jupiter is serene and above the conflict to win, While Venus tries to fight upon the plains of troy That the Greek gods of serenity may win at Tuscany. “When do these sultry groans of mortal remorse cease?” To calm the sordid uproar that Love may peruse Through the scattered white aromatic rose petals In search of the scintillating path back to the highland stables Were snowflakes are an irresistible lure for the Arctic snowbirds! Nature herself is proud of her designs Yet! There is nothing grating in mortal cosmoses but direct villainy. Sinister fate climbs the lonesome banister faster Before the “fanged dawn” descends nearer, As stronger minds virtually become weaker; These “shameless actors” are melted into “thin air” “Must they cheat themselves with that same foolish vice of honesty?” Mischievousnesses feed! Like beasts till they be fat, and then they bleed As they are led to bend the curve of “No return” Since it is only rational that after the darkest of nights There is a brighter day to reveal the true knights Of the once gloomy age of Democritus. Tis plain, from hence, that our vows Request hurtful intense things, or useless at the best.

Wind in my face, skateboard wheels careening toward my destination with a fervent pace, so many groceries on my mind. My music blaring within my ears, filling the world with some gift wrapped three minute long purpose for being. No one else is in my world as I roll along the concrete sides, just enjoy the beauty of the moment. Then tragedy strikes like a viper in the dark, the spot in my mind that I manifested with wood and wheels and speed, all set to a musical soundtrack is shattered with a single blow. Not a pebble or unseen ledge but you. You come into vision, my thief of heart and soul, my dreamtime tormentor, my love that won't or can't subside. Trailing behind you of course is whatever you've replaced me with, some superior person in appearance or attitude. As I roll ever nearer, all can do is imagine our perfect conversation, you know the one... That one makes you fall in love with me again. but as our bodies close in on each other, almost until I could grab you and kiss you with the supreme passion I still feel, my imagination melts back into the part of the brain that keeps me sad and all I do is make a fake smile in your direction give a half hearted waive and continue passed, trying not look back at you and the person beside. The store I find, has an excellent selection of wine and spirits. I pick one, douse myself in it's forgetful qualities and sleep without dreams. For once leaving you out of where you should no longer reside.

She’s so cute I wanna eat her face, like I’m high on bath salts, she’s vegan, but takes my tongue like a cannibal, eat your hearts out Haters, cut my ear off and send it to her like Van Gogh, ear off a part of the big picture, or rather painting we’re painting she gets the first stroke, we’re wild like animals untamable all in all the time, into the deep end head first Geronimo cannonball, Black Swan dive she’s gone alive, the Pied Piper the Eyed Viper the venom & the antidote, and I quote a quote I wrote myself, “She’s the answer to my prayers”, the reason and the hope, she’s the answer to my prayers, and I don’t even pray, okay actually on the low I do pray, and I’ve seen a lot of amazing things but I’m still amazed, I’m amazed, and tomorrow isn’t promised today, and tomorrow never comes, but she comes and when she does she comes in waves, I’m in a daze, honey glazed and lovely crazed, my bed’s a mess haven’t made it in days, bed’s a mess but when we’re together we’ve got it made, so perfectly misbehaved it’s insane, lost myself then found my self all up in her maze, and usually I’m not religious, but she’s so delicious I must say, thank you Lord or God Amen to her I give all thanks & praise, and she’s so cute I wanna eat her face, like I’m high on bath salts, she’s vegan, but takes my tongue like a cannibal… ∆ Aaron LA Lux ∆ Venice, California; 2018

Thanks & Praise (I’ll Eat Her Face)
Sudden intimacies Old missed opportunities And a Woman who should've known Exactly when I'm not my own. She strikes like a viper, Shoots to **** like a ****** And she Quickly has disappeared Confirming what I had most feared.

I know a writer She seems like quite the fighter her arms and legs are covered in scars         But her eyes are so full of stars I know a writer Whose future couldn't be brighter that always seems so sad Or maybe just a bit mad I know a writer Who couldn’t shoot higher She always looks up on her strolls For the sky holds all her goals I know a writer Sleepless over her typewriter She often falls asleep in class But, she has a smile that could cut glass I know a writer Who frequents the overnighter Sleep to her is a foreign ideal She knows not how it can heal I know a writer Who is quick to tire An hour or two It’s ever so true I know a writer Who's not an outsider So full of compassion She runs with a faction I know a writer And she's kinda a whiner Loud and proud Much like a storm cloud I know a writer She's nothing more than a cipher With her secret codes Hidden in all of her odes I know a writer Who couldn’t be nicer Always smiling at strangers She's a real game changer I know a writer Who fights like a tiger She’s stronger than most But she isn’t one to boast I know a writer Who bites like a viper She can be malignant But only if you’re distant I know a writer And this may seem minor But her vivid imagination leads to the beauty of creation I know a writer Who couldn’t be wiser With a heart for spoken word Though she’s often left unheard

I had a boss When I worked, A black-hearted sycophant We'll call Bert. There was no escaping From this **** Unless Daddy'd sheathed Before his squirt. He was the smiling villain, With a glad-handshake, And a slap on the back: One never knew of his scurrilous attacks On reputation, On self-esteem, This viper slithered In my Garden of Eden.

My Garden of Eden
dancing with the wind hiding in the grass you can easily tell what's good and what's wonderful beyond all kinds obviously more beautiful looking sweet and slender but poisonous like a viper your scent deep down in my lungs took my breath very fast without even noticing and now I'm lost and drowning you got me defenseless feeling so enamored tell me, how do you do this? tell me, why do you do this? tell me, why do you have to be like this? like lily of the valley.

Lily of the Valley
I used to like you a lot. i don’t know what ******* happened. we’re children and you pushed me off the swings, off the playground, out of the park. And now my best friend only wants me for what i can say about you, you sea urchin. bouquet of prickling spikes piercing my jagged rib bones. rip through me, feasting scoundrel, you ***** you fox. you viper. wipe her from my soggy slate. dinner plate? it’s empty. everyone is the garbage disposal, grinding my teaspoons of self-worth into dusty pieces. i am the garbage. and i never pegged you as one to leave me in a dark parking lot, shadows curling their bony fingers around my purple lungs, but she found you making love to him in the same car we sat. the bull frogs saw what you did. i’m warning you to stop pretending like you’re still a fawn. a doe-like female. i can see through the speckles on your face and your mixed tapes. i don’t have heart left for you, you ****** kneel in front of his knobby knees. beg, ***** muck him up and then lick him clean, feline. slink past me in the night, in the broad daylight. you are not a spy i can see your arteries.

The story of The Viper and The Mountain, is a sad tale to tell, but it's really quite a story so listen very well. There The Mountain was, armor clad and tall. Before him many men had stood, but every one did fall. But then a Viper came a calling. "revenge" he said "revenge" for the mountain had slew his sister, it was her he meant to avenge. The Viper stabbed the The Mountains sore, right in his mighty chest. and so The Mountain fell like any other wall of flesh. The Viper was a quick man, though not quite that wise,  so blind was he by revenge The Mountain caught him by surprise. The Mountain grabbed The Viper's head, and crushed it like a grape, And so it was The Viper died, never to avenge his sisters **** A sad song to be sure, a gruesome tale indeed, so lets raise our glasses high and forget it over mead.

The Mountain And The Viper
Beware the traitor that walks at your side under the guise of friendship For she is an assassin, a viper, a liar, a ****** soul Totally without honour For she will plunge her dagger into your back with no remorse Trust not the innocent looks, the timorous ways, or sweet words For she is beneath contempt and is not worthy of your good opinion Nor ever was.

Beware the traitor.
Who in the Owl's Mind will text the Viper To Strike once he swoops for his Evening Meal? You see now, how Silly is this Encounter Like making Soap from an already Dead Seal Such Exaggerations warrant no Fare To guide the Limo in price for a Hackney Yet for her Shoulder you offered to Care Whilst laughing at this desperate Lackey Happy for you, a Word again-and-again Flooding your Bell-Machine to Heart's Complaint You must stop this as I must will do then If Virtue your Chaperone keeps his Quaint. So, the Song plays on and I on Paper As you Party on and I don't Matter.
