Best Parasite Poems

==================================
The widow, dressed in glossy black,	
glides from the shadows at the back.	
A veil lies slack across her face	
to mask the grief her features lack.	

Possessed of an insectile grace,	
she sidles to the open case	
and like the reptile smile she bares,	
this too, serves to defile the place.

The moon sunk her teeth in a sky of black,
Over city backdrops and the scent of crack,
Neon spilled burning through traffic veins,
Dead man's handles on subway trains.
I tasted of acid in the end of night,
Snow descended dirty, off-white, 
Staring through curtains at six a.m.,
Into the...

Aint nothing in life so weak and parasitic 
As the smug self-delusional heckling critic 
Sick with repressed envy and a manner most vile 
He slithers to his seat to vent his acrid bile 
Bereft of any talent to do anything himself 
Can't wait to put...

Marriage has lost its security and the vow, its invincibility
especially in a generation so saga and scandal loving
and a society rarely frowning its face to traditional unfaithfulness.
Setting up the stage for lots of pests 
to freely and openly infest in the neighbourhood, 
social circuses and...

Fantasies o' thy coffee sips,
Throwin' away t'at clip,
Part o' thy cheek b'ween my teeth,
Stare'th thou, as I wetten t'se hairs with my saliva,
Love o' thee, like the bound o' t'at nail b'ween t'se wooden chairs,
My lips above chin o' thy, stares,
Bosom o' thy, struck'th o'...

Sucking away life
Gorge until nothing in
Leeches left dry...

This
prison
is unlike
the kind with bars
here with no key only evil resides.

If I were a blood sucking parasite
I'd hide in the stilt grass and wait
For the next feast to walk by.
Usually it's a deer or opossum,
But if the weather is fair I might see a hiker
Or a park ranger in khaki shorts
To feed off of for...

I
The beggar outside the supermarket
You swore was picked up later
In a flashy car
Sat there in the sun for 8 hours
While you pissed & moaned
All the way home
To your bookless
Mausoleum 
With a chlorinated pool
Where one day you will 
Face down float
When your sour & blackened
Heart
Is divorced...

You we're so weak 
and so I helped you, 
You looked so hungry
that's why I fed you, 

I give you a home 
like you never did had before, 
I showered and clothed you 
with love, 
Like you never did felt before, 

And then your strength...

Wait hold up something is so wrong
I have the feeling soon I'll be dead and gone
It's getting hard to eat
Hard to feel my feet
Not to mention I feel nausea when I see meat
Especially beef
Everyday feels like it will be my last
Visions of me drowning when...

My pixel prison, / parasite of my mind, / tyrant of my time. 

Once upon a time- a letter or a call sufficed.
Now, years vanish in a blink of an eye, 

Beeps and buzzes, / rings and memes. 

Panic… no time or space to breathe…,...

It watches it stares
My God it's always there
In the shower, when I read a book
It even gives me dirty looks
NO PRIVACY ALOUD
It moves in malice all about
No hiding, It's there
Even when taking off my underwear
Nowhere to hide, it will not leave
It's moving closer
What could it...

My mom and dad met in the gut of an insect!  	
As a kid, I was packed in a sac not so perfect;	
When I am mature,	
I make myself sure	
To infect a human when the insect does inject...
