Best Devour Poems
‘Devoured’
For I am the representation of the unknown.
I whence at the thought of human touch and flee at first glance.
I fly away in solitude and caw in the name of darkness.
For I am the madness in a poets line and the chaos that brings chills down your spine.
A lunatics binge is greener past the fringe as the laughter echoes past the grassy knoll and the white rabbit effect takes its toll.
Falling in-through a hole-in-one, a single gesture lands you on the dark side of the sun.
You wake in the middle of glide and all you wanna do is do is confide.
The hands of the traveler comforts all who follow.
Especially the ones who connect and wallow.
For I am dark, a winged messenger—swallowed

Devour the spirit and souls
of the poor, fatherless children
with no clean water nor food
to fill the bloated bellies.
Families unlearned, desolate
spiritually beaten. Unable to provide for
their young. Villages living in sorrow of their
dead babies, dead husbands and raped bodies
and spirits.
Who will help their misery?

Its easy to let go the hard part is holding on
We loose every night to fight for every dawn
Life is about living let the old rejoice
You hear the young's cry but they don't see the choice
To live for each day and battle fir every breath
To squander life is a fate worse than death
Smell every rose and feel every ray of the sun
Revel in every moment love laugh and have fun
Reach for the stars and see what life brings
Forgive your foes and don't stress about the little things
Feel from your heart and chase your own dreams
Devour life until your inner light gleams

Men come down for fun,
Duck hover, on edge of dune.
Crowd move down, open gun,
Whop… knock off duck, under moon.
Cook over ember, devour upon noon.

The howl escapes me,
I cannot help it;
an ululation heralds my arrival.
I am commanded.
Something has slept
but wakes now, is loosed,
something primal, instinct
given licence to devour.
She drives my sweet new youth,
my keen eyes, my potent musculature,
the urgent hormones
that set my new agenda.
She directs, she is
my dominatrix;
her whiteness
is fire in my veins.
Feelings unfurl from within
like a flag declaring dominance.
Hair bristles, bones crack,
she ordains my morphology.
And I am thirsty, and so hungry
to sate this new appetite,
to experience, to touch, to infect.
I change irrevocably. I am Alpha.

Down in the pit
Where he sits
Awaiting his time to rein
Causing so much pain
His followers he sends out
to find the blessed ones
The ones with any special gift
and there they sit
lurking,
waiting to devour their soul
In hope to hurt his father and his molds
Grace his father gave the small and meek
With vengeance he yells out and peeks
The one heaven seeks
Father I shall take what you love
and eat their souls
So you may not see them on your scroll
In my realm I am damned
but... in my realm I shall rule
Rule over your pride
and rob them of their souls
Eating on their flesh
will my followers seek
and flashes of heat they will meet
My father precious children
are Damned

Blank verse
My furry fire a silky rouch;
A smoky dire a burning torch
Like a cloudy day, much on my grey soldier;
Lightning filled eyes, grave with desire and danger
Endure, forever free;
Devour me
For prey born a slave;
You crave only to live
Nor shall any of them pray;
For what you kill this day
Lost feet stumble upon your path;
Bones found, where meat packs with teeth
Chase me whole;
Howl my soul
Catch my breath;
I'm yours 'til death
Cut the ice and snow;
With claw all that you know
Colour me slow with your paw;
And my red on white shall flow
Herd me into your frame;
To lead me home
Run me down;
‘til the break of dawn
In the first light of your shadow my sherperd;
Sweep me away like a flowing willow in your legend

Oh. My. God.
Harmonious ecstasy and
oxytocin dance through
every cell you've come into
contact with.
Oh. My. God.
I never believed in God
until you had me
moaning prayers into
the sky,
begging for sweet,
sinful salvation. Your
tongue formulates its own
scriptures, and I am weak
in the knees.
Devour every drop of
my innocence, my pleasure.
Speak to me in tongues
until I am worshiping the sky.
Oh. My. God.

With the blatant truth ever,
Blooming to decay.

As spring is born it bursts forth it's green,
as the living woods look so fresh and clean.
I sit by myself and I close my eyes,
listening to the birds as I breathe in a deep sigh.
The birds they sing a song just for me,
In a world so clam they sing a sweet melody.
Seeing the trees of every shape and size,
as they bask in the sun from the early morning rise.
Golden is their bark so rough and strong,
as their graceful branches are so lean and long.
Woodpeckers are pecking for their morning meal,
an inner peace God allowed me to feel.
I gaze off into the distance and spot patches of green,
a wonderous beauty of God's holy scene.
Winds blow through the pines as their needles sway,
as the whispers of nature seem to take me far away.
New growth is popping out from under last falls fallen leaves,
as the sun beams down energy to earth's plants it feeds.
Slopping country side as far as the eye can see,
as a red tail hawk flys so wild and free.
Scouring down at the sight of a new fresh meal,
as the stench of it's prey is enticed to appeal.
God provides for his creatures big or small,
he never fails to give or in need if we call.

Last telling the tale of the lovely Kate
About to ask for our first formal date
The Gods had decreed her to my collection plate
Quenching the thirst for Satan's mortality rate
I question where to make the first incision
Transverse above the breast my decision
Organs opening as flowers once bloomed
Soon to be desecrated under the soil entombed
The garden's daffodils n' roses of varying hues
Crimson pinks, scarlet shades of violent blues
She is soiled and defiled and bears another's child to the naked eye unforeseen
The shower's steam sparkle n' gleam, as I carve the liver and oh such a tender spleen
The pericardium fluid washes away the liver's bile, an ultimate climactic aquamarine
Fondling the liver I can almost forgive her for she herself a mere child seventeen
Dazzling brilliant ruby red droplets, create pattern from this intimate splatter
I'm calm and composed not like Alice's friend the chaotic brain scattered Mad Hatter.

Would the Memories Devour Her?
Sarah Jean sat slumped in the old black chair
She could only muster a cold blank stare
Since the death of her son she didn’t care
Memories assaulted her-“Unfair!”
To take her youngest son and leave her here
She flinched at the thought of him leaving home
He dribbled the ball, spun, snatched the keys from the hook
His golden grilled smile would be her last look
Lawrence leaped before her like a hologram
She could hear his voice playful even with a demand
“T’ Lady this just is not what we do
You taught me life was for living
Now you’re claiming that your life is through”
“Call me Mama, boy” she scolded “or I’m going to get you!”

Sonnet
Donning sable spots on buff hearts:
With all the resolve an’ brutality
They pursue their prey;
Stopping at nothing but the
Quarry’s final gasp for a breath
They’re the pillaging African wild dogs:
So unflagging in the heart an’ rigid on feet
The ultimate hecklers of
He who stitches for others,
The one who gets lost on the way
They’re the invincible African wild dogs:
In deadly packs an’ persistent in manner
They grip their prey an’ rip it apart -
Preferring the budding an’ the hapless
That’s how they are; ferocious!
The resolute African wild dogs:
Heartless an’ inexorable, though
Oft their kill in no time they devour whole
Or a hunk excruciatingly torn off alive
Such ruthlessly merciless, so they are!
The cold-heart’d African wild dogs:
A time pinn’d down with an ample boulder
Or other piece with an equally sound weight
For now, the frenzy snappings an’ snarling
Render fleeting peace in the mottled hearts of theirs
Devouring an’ feasting like they do
On the now putrefying sworn enemy!

devour my soul
rivers flow
backwards through time
once I was whole
fill me
this empty vessel
I have become
nurture
the child I have lost
bring me solace
let sunshine
love
hope
let them
devour my soul (C) mjr 2010
