Poem Title:
Poem
Blood, , urine, in order; perfume and sweat, pleasure combined Visually impaired by smog and darkness I can sense bodies; I can smell life and excess The taste is overpowering and I gav I'm quiet as a mouse, fearful, carrying a childhood companion; discomfort The stench is alluring despite the poison and filth Something wet and gooey underfoot, I slip and slide, bump and crash Noise is echoed around the dark perimeter, percussion replaced by moans On my back now cold yet warm, pain up my spine as a lumpy liquid eats me from beneath I grapple for grip, hair and leather the recipients Movement vibrates through the bass of my current abode I taste smoke and spirit, feel a weight sinking me toward the depth Words deceit of form, substitute air as I am consumed from heaven and hell A naked chill injects, sensations dancing through my nerve endings The monstrous swamp creature sucking my life as I start to slip out of consciousness Click; I glimpse my true surroundings as lightning sparks Breathing hard, body tense as release envelopes me in shuddering waves before leaving in violence Crawling now, no knowledge it's the right path, destination a roulette Gagging as the e and vomit reach a crescendo in my nose and throat My body feels tainted, it's cold in here and I climb the white cliff I hear the waterfall and breathe the spray before drinking greedily, my senses another victim as pain hits back Naked and vulnerable I sink; noise is pain and light my enemy Escape, warm, contented as I sink and drift, hands soft but hard, bruises respond Peace shattered by distortion and echoes, my brain open, suffocating from weight Fingers like vines on my neck, citrus in my nostrils as I am slowly born again Noise, an alien tongue I can't and won't respond, no words; a grunt sufficient Pressure, dullness, shadowed pre-life as adrenaline courses through my craft I am unblinded and the white is majestic; as I guide my other head down, life glugs away My yoke steering my senses, tank replenished, I peak and demand smoke Detoxification successes, warm and soft, I am dressed by the mirror, my sight on darkness setting Sweet liquid in an atmosphere of birds, partnered with minute dense rocks Guided and delivered to a haze, beautiful hair and eyes, my hub lighted well Food for others, poison for me Noise without meaning, building, my heart beating, senses overloaded, my dog taking me again I am God, you are too I love you, you me I connect
