For Natasha, written: 08-23-2026
steamed, beheaded jumbo shrimp
deveined awful good
size clearly misunderstood
freeze burn soon seen
off tasting, dunked in
cocktail sauce
yum!
their nails were rimmed with blue and grey
a clinical circle was bordering stain
noisily blossoming; smeared by the pain
the indigo purpled and mantled her flay
a bruising delusional; deafened contusional
denting and doubling and bubbling inflamed
detriment gently, vain hysterectomy sectioning skin by the strain
derelict centering
feigning and fondling
further and fairly deveined
hemophilia setting in
azure limbs fettering
murdering pale for her stay
cracked from a stutter their
lips turned in color with
blue blooming out of the brain
drained on the flooring panes
still and yet subtly
shivering like it would rain
granted their status by
siren with blood in eyes
poisonous digits dig in
mild dim underskin
derma tint muddling
water spills out with a feign
Glassen calm can stretch remoteness _________ distant pale blue
As clouds sink in the glazed stillness ____ of smoothly waned blue
Lilting soft breath whispers gently ~~~~~~ unfurling sail blue
Waves bend in diamond laughter ~~~ beaming upon gale blue
Away, the wayward breeze gushes ))))) bashing into bane blue
Yonder abyssal, sublimed beyond black )))))) what insane blue
Gelid gal, night-kissed scarlet eclipses ********** wind vane blue
Absorbed gasps thru-hulled thru and thru, to see-through vain blue
__________~~~~~~~~~~****/)****~~~~~~~~~__________
Liquesced ~~~ where those multiple blues~~~ churn deveined hues

Cradle my body, Deeply into
you, tear me, limb-frm-limb,
Can't deny your pulsing vibes,
380* spins my prime, moving
mountains, amongst, early
dawns, sunlight quake, where
we lost all self-control,
dangerously, Keith Sweats,
song, fornicating, our love....To
another round of sweet
Deveined entwined lyrics,under
bump n' grind, midnights
breaking hour, we co-inside, all
measures of passions love, to
never part...

It all started with an ember
A tiny whisper, a slow fire
The beginning blaze
Of just one gaze
Would leave me forever changed
Started off so good
You stood by me so long
So fatefully fingered
Such a calloused little angler
You've become
And so my power wanes but you don't care
Leave the growing stains from the wounds you make
Eating out my hollowed remains
And pouring out all I've restrained
Not pleading doubt
I'm bleeding now
Can't stand this drain
Just void and deveined
What once was right
Is a fight, is a curse
The screaming abuse
And a shortened fuse
Is all we have to lose
Ended up so bad
You've left me now so fast
So fatally handled
Blistered and battled
You are
And so my power wanes, you just don't care
Leave the growing stains from your piercing hate
Carving out my hollowed remains
And raining out all I've restrained
My pleading shout
I'm just bleeding out
Can't stand this drain
Just void and deveined
Can't stand this drain
You've left me insane
I'm void and deveined
