Ahh!
peering out,
never in
your words are whisper thin
like willow-silk spun
drying parched
on your skin
Ahh
but I read you very clear
every word every fear
indelibly etched
nose, mouth, eyes
words, words, words
Lies, lies, lies
blink once and I'll cease
or period
full stop
bleed
inside each crease,
it's your face, i see!
beautiful
it emasculates me
disempowers me
tirelessly
sees through me,
I have no words for you
my love...
they're gone... not a trace
I could save myself,
the agony of speech
and just peel them off your face
Prudent divination
Brought back to this.
This stirring cauldron of enamored desire.
Emasculates me out of the gate
Shoot to kill, in a hit or miss
The blurring of boundary the scolding of fire
Devastates and soaks our souls in hate
The great destruction of the interior space
Countdown begins
Another weltcher and clucking fiends
Populate your world of faux plastic grins
The dirtiest of people will enter fashionably clean
Those you call friends
Just smile and nod, swallow disgust again
Faking it all, nodding and blindly agree.
Pugnacious mind of mine
Seeks an end to this winter fog
Your ramblings, on and on
I close the shutters, for spring is not in sight
Pig manure emasculates the air
Not a farm in sight
Your ramblings, on and on
I find solace in the bedroom closet
I hear the car door slam
The front door slam
Your ramblings, on and on
I chamber the round then nothing but stars
Cascading emotions escalate
Climbing words build up into a fiery frenzy
Exploding syntax burns passionately
Crawling equilibrium
I am enslaved on the rollercoaster of emotions
Trapped in the maze of mirrors
This house of horrors
My claustrophobia emasculates me
I beg for escape
Trapped in an abyss of blackness
My screams are silent
My cries unanswered
I resign to my dreary fate
