Best Cut To The Quick Poems

Bold, bright...unmistakable 
she dresses in vivid pinks or purples
sometimes splashes of oranges or golds.
Her lavish flashes of flowers shine
and yet...
…brilliant bougainvillea has 
her dark secrets.

Devoid of fragrance 
this fanfare, flowery mistress 
hides her hidden thorns...
…to touch her is 
to become entangled
cut to the quick

She came from nowhere, mouse-like quiet
At first we thought it’s just a trick
But soon her powers were dark like night
We saw her strength cut to the quick.

Covidia came from foreign lands
But traveled fast with power and speed
And she was subtle with sneaky hands
She quickly knew...

Enriching knowledge was our scope...

But avarice derailed our friendship...

Ostentation unfurled through your face...

Hurricanes of emotion...

The island boy devoured your soul with deceptions..

So u casted mistrustful eye on me...

Am now cut to the quick...

Will however give you that tiny victory but that will be for a...

I carry the torch for thee
Why did you give up me with glee
Was it you wouldn't be caught dead
to identify me as your blood
Did I cork up my love
or were you cheesed off with this low dove
Were you cut to the quick
because of this dimwit...

Sentiment is not easy to express,
You ought to be sensitive to empathy,
And put aside all apprehensions,
Be receptive to all positive vibes that radiate!

Keep aside self esteem and acrimony,
Be compassionate and susceptible to 
understanding,
Listen to the inkling and have patience,
Trust in the aura that prevails !

Suddenly without bedmate and counterpart 
   one month shy of fifty years, no deity could answer
razor sharp emotional pain cut to the quick 
   recollecting ballroom dancer

himself as a handsome youth so graceful and suave, 
   fast as Bill...

Bloody fetus ripped to shreds
Tissue mass scarlet red
Ancient slime, evolution stew
That was all I thought of you
Your life demands inconvience me
I'll kill you now to keep me free
My idol, my god, myself be praised
A sacrifice offering to hell I raise
Your severed life cut to the...

I don't know why i always manage to hurt myself on nights like this 
The pain lacks thought and doubt perhaps that's it
(and people don't think i'm a massachist)
it's dull and aching, sharp and tight
it lets me fall asleep at night
 
how do i fall...

The real fealty
Fellowship with Deity
Not aseity

Where is His power?
Do not let His will sour
Why you don't flower

Man is not the cure
His righteousness is manure
God-Man must procure

Can't laugh off this One
Demons in the swine are done
To the cliff they run

"Life gives me more stress"
Listen more and...

Insult the sun and embitter the world
as you live for the day's demise.
A current of crumpled up silver wishes
passed you in the rising tide.
Once in your hollow attractive youth
the world was fooled for a moment.
It dealt you the card of jokerly depth
and looked past your...

She was a hard woman to love
She was the type to hold a grudge
Her tongue could cut like a razor
Cut to the quick, full of danger
She'd carve you up, make your heart bleed
Then smile so sweet, with eyes that plead
You would forgive her every deed

Her...

STRIPPED DOWN
BARE
CUT TO THE QUICK
MY HEART
FRAGILE AND SINEWY 
MY BRITTLE BONES
ACHE
STIFF AND HOLLOW
A BUTTERFLY CAUGHT
PINNED INSIDE THE GLASS....

A taste that melts you 
into a dollop of whipped cream;
Straight into hysteria,
you scream everything inside of you;
A sugary screw;

Left undone with one lick,
his sweetness cut to the quick;
Straight into hysteria 
he sent me and it was long overdue;
A sugary screw;

Caught in a scent 
akin...
