Best Infliction Poems

Silence breeds a droning bunch, 
a blackened kettle, a stolen lunch.
The dismal lead while sheep give chase,
a silent echo, a spoofed embrace.

Abandoned youth viewed once again,
a manifest of mice, not men.
Hypocrites now preach the word,
murdered lines and vision blurred.

Despair entangles a shallow light,
disavowed, this tale...

     Unswallowed lumps of lobster immodest
     Crustacean returns to pincers persimmon 
     Waitress whisk indiscernible clears linen 
     Custom of one equates her eight hour day

You try to hurt me with your vicious words,
Sayings that are not repeated.
You push me up against the wall,
Yet I am not defeated.

I tell no one of the abuse;
My thoughts are now in silence.
I try my hardest to defend myself;
Yet I can’t escape the violence.

The burning sensation of lust,
Red seeping from her core.
Her shattered heart,
Followed by shattered tears.
The anger gliding across her wrist,
Her solution still remains.
Yearning to lead a normal life,
Longing to feel the pain.
The numbness shortening her life,
The guilt reminding her of death.
Her self-infliction,
Her only solution.
"Get away!", she...

I am inflicted with blue eyes and golden hair
Wrapped in a fair skinned temper sure to go nowhere
I'll resist her tempting smile - 'least I say I will
Then I'll tremble and say "please"-  'til I get my fill

I was born pure masculine - warrior...

I must admit dear,
evil survives within my head,
Monsters in the corner
all painted shades of red.

They walk among us
yet you'd never know they're here,
Spirits in the wind
leaving whispers in our ears.

Screams ringing in the darkness
forever leading us astray,
Replacing all our colored memories
and fading them to grey.

Laughter...

Summer’s sweetness lies upon the shores of tomorrow
As today’s bitterness is cast upon the craggy jettison
Left to die is the presence of torment and sorrow
As the only cure is this symbolic medicine

As I stand on this shore now daydreaming
My eyes have then focused on the...

The frontier of violence
strange land of our making
Wilderness of bones and blood

Explosion, implosion,
tomorrow is gone

A new self-destruct mode,
old enemies throng 

We’re now on the poster,
PUBLIC ENEMY ONE

The canaries all dead
—with zero the sum
