Anodyne Poems | Examples


Premium MemberThere Is No Remedy

I have learned in the reclining chair,
		while the dentist mined deep veins of decay,
		how to transfer pain.
		The needled anodyne of novocaine
		is inadequate to allay
		the harrowing ache he engenders there.
		
		But not even by bending fingers until they pop
		or stabbing nails into the tenderest flesh
		can I get the dedicated ache to stop.
		Nor did my visit to another woman
		after the last set when her shift was done	
		soothe the bruises on my heart
		that blossomed when you stole the sun.

Anodyne

"Denmother, this forlorn morn
I'll be without Her scorn..
Gone from Her deceptive songs,
Never again shall I do wrongs!"

Seventh summer Moon arose,
My life drawing to a close
and sleep with daemon kin,
A silver halo above my grin.

There She stood; an Angel tarred
Ringed by silver as the maypole barred,
Bewinged like the horizon at autumn's dusk
Clad in black, Cruella's orgasmic busk

Darkened eclipse clad my soul
Noose my neck of pagan coal.
Phantom breath where sex and grim-
A gothick romance, Lucifer's hymn

Another Angel fallen, drowned on the crimson sea,
No more depressive gospels, being whispered to me.
No more Heaven to welcome, this self inflicted glee.
Cheated life's judgement, just to be set free...

Anodyne

I feel you inside me 
As blood races to my brain
Screaming your name.
You burn through me like an acid flow 
And everything I know is left in ashes.
You move me to extremes,
Out of the in-between
Were sadness lies just behind the eyes,
Into the realm of sound and substance.
I feel you inside me
As I come to the brink,
And to think
My little world seemed so important.
You are love,
You are my drug,
You are fire incarnate,
You are the state of grace epitomized.
You grind my soul and shock my senses,
Shake and shatter my defenses,
You break me and make me whole.
I feel you inside me.
I drink you in.
Electric nectar surges through my veins.
I am swept away 
To the place where you are,
Within and without,
Above and below,
Everywhere and nowhere.
