.Evil
A wormy apple bruised
bread crawling with weevils
Mottled black and blue
Essences of evil
Skull and crossbones warn
deadly poisonous gas
Tortured cries and moans
Creepy sutured mask
Disguises of light and truth
Hiding grotesque thoughts
Someone follows you
Security, safety lost
Empathies a myth
I alone am real
Fill your terror with
All that I don't feel
Bodily pain excites
But even better I crave
Destruction of the mind
Making you depraved
A little harmless here
A bit of, only human, there
Deeper darkness steer
Till it's hard to care
I knock a jolly rhythm
To distract you and disarm
You unlock the first one
and Quiet the alarm
Peeking, who is there?
Show all my wicked teeth
Desensitized you stare
And open the door to me.
exceed eurekas
enrich elegant emo
eccentricities
evanesce empire egos
enlist epic empathies
God Bless America
For all her flaws
current Republican claws
what a lady
eloquence from France after all
A land of all lands
people made up of all peoples
there will always be the extremes
magnified by social media screams
No matter imperfections
our freedoms sing across the seas
as China flaunts human rights basic laws
stand as one and ignore the birdbrained fringe
Countries like humans are not perfection
carry deep in your heart empathies reflection
decapitate the voice of those spewing vitriol
hold hands not to agree, simply to love humanity
Nothing
in all creation
can equal
true loves value
a priceless gift
Unpretentiously given
delicately expressed
no accommodation
for superiority
or spite
Tranquilly awaiting
to build you up
supporting
your independence
devotion
is not possessive
A sanctuary
in moments of sorrow
embracing
empathies
healing strength
Sensual desires
breathtaking enchantments
arousing playfully
devilish romance
Most importantly
true love
is
unconditional
The color of my heart is red- and true.
Dark red glows love- pink, altruistic care.
But at the same time, radiates rich blue
as loyalty dwells strong and deep in there.
Just like a rainbow, it can wane soft green
to share with all, its peaceful, tranquil hue;
then show bright rays of orange-tangerine
when creativity yields its gifts too.
And golden yellow blends right in to spread,
as my heart holds up hope for all to feel.
Throughout my life, past, present, and ahead,
my heartfelt empathies- their tints reveal.
My heart, both in and out, is rainbow-lined-
the spectrum of its colors, unconfined.

I never really understood how people became addicts.
I still don't.
How do you let something destroy you, yet smile so
widely when you get that fix?
I don't quite get the meaning behind it, how can something
so damaging, bring someone such immense pleasure?
So I did some thinking.....
I cried, just a little.
(empathies tears)
I screamed from the rafters.
(for all to hear)
I threw my fists up.
(high towards the sky)
I knew what mattered.
(I was no longer blinded)
I knew that I may never understand the needs of an addict.
But, I do know a little something about the needs of me.
My addiction, you ask?
Is simply stated:
Happiness.
