Poet Tellaferro Poet Rhyme

Splinter In My Sight

The liquid is sharp
sweet the Pulse 
the flicker and the light
that keeps in time 
With the driving rhythm 
A sound of feeling 
the rage 
the Ecstasy
Pump and hum 
the drink is cold I feel hot
the sights and sounds
burning down 
the body locks
the flesh is in motion
the drug boils deep 
through each tight vein
I feel the coming insane 
seen there in the corner shadows 
Do you see?
the forgotten 
in the corner 
were shadows remain
eyes staring 
a shadow ill begotten 
as the scenes pulse, 
flicker, splash of light 
keeps in time 
refuses the light
for the night 
in the darkest space 
they care not 
Last Remnants remain, stain 
out of the corner of the eye 
the bump and grind 
The crowd unaware 
But you see it there?
the thing at the corner 
of my site sits and stares 
do you feel it not
a haunted vestige underneath it’s eyes hot  
my heart skips 
my thoughts spin
my stomach sours
the imagery feeds darkness my sight takes
my mind falling away 
from the light 
I think of this thing 
as a splinter in my sight
Darkest night
corners my eye 
and the pulse 
and flicker 
the sound 
in the rhythm 
and rage
as a liquid is shot 
sweat trickles down 
spines curb around
Pump and Flicker 
the lights keep time 
during the rhythm 
the sound 
feeds the energy 
The drink is cold I feel 
the hot heat of the bodies press 
sights and sounds burning down 
the drug crawls through my tight flash 
fire in veins
their at the corner 
of my eye something 
sits something waiting, insane
waiting 
wanting pain 
the coming rain
pump and hum 
the electric drums 
complex tattoos of insanity 
there is shadows sits and waits 
don’t you see
