I want my forever,
Only getting never,
Exiled from my own life,
Feelings of a knife.
Sharp pain throughout,
Wounds pouring doubt,
Lifeless body exsanguinated,
Love uncompensated,
Space requested,
Miles given,
My love detested,
Alone driven,
I hope you find what you seek,
Our future appears bleak,
My will is weak,
My thoughts , a creek.
Flowing ever forward,
Not sure where toward,
I love you more than words can define,
You bring me peace in a life of war,
I'd give everything for you to be mine,
I hope you can find your way, and restore.
“‘til death do us part” the vampire once said
to his pallid bride, her throat blushing red.
The guests grew squeamish at what they just saw,
filled with great dread and primordial awe:
as the groom his bride exsanguinated.
They caressed, and kissed, and her life she bled
And rose as one of the un-wholly dead.
Exhausted they collapsed, their bodies raw.
“Mmm, ‘til death do us part,” he said.
Later that day as they unslept in bed--
a smell so fetid her poor senses fled!
“Drac, did you fart?!” “No, ‘twas just a crow’s caw.”
Suddenly she knew her post-fatal flaw!
“’Mon coeur, blah blah-blah.’ she scowled in her head,
Ugh! ‘til death do us part!” she said.
Sensual day on the life trip she searches
The walk through broken glass accentuates the rare pleasure of disappointment
She checks the mirror for past reflective glories
Empty cradle tells no lies
Search for man like the rarest fruit
Search for the perfect man, gold lined
The planets look good, aligned
Princess in search of Prince
Admirers fall by her side
But not the right admirer, yet
The enchanted waits
Planets shifting
Time is of the essence
He comes
Pleasure is all his, for a time
Lifeblood flows
The signs are good
Exsanguinated, ecstasy passed
The mirror screams as new life bears fruit
The planets crash
She Sleeps
The empty cradle rocks
The planets lay dormant
A slight flicker
The mirror reflects
Rejuvenated, she seeks
The trip brings gifts bearing
Conquest boasts young blood in thought
Dreamlike fading in sensual pleasure
The cradle rocks
The planets grow angry
The mirror soothes in the night
New journey begins as planets align.
I bled myself dry
because of you slaughtered, drained
exsanguinated
13
riding out the night
searching for that solar storm
instead, up ahead
columns of wind
breach the scene
green trees clobber the place
as bedlam pulls out the white swords
and once again it's on
808 Boom!
808 Boom!
808 Boom!
moonlight exsanguinated
even though it was full as can be
no sign of Jason Voorhees either
maybe he's graduated from the mask
this place ain't so scary
I said,
"THIS PLACE AIN"T SO SCARY!"
(stirring up the devils)
only 15 minutes 'till we're in the clear
Saturday 14 is near

lurid in glass cages
masturbating strobe lit neon
orbit decaying speed.
wholesale supplication
self abusing gratification
starving heroin chic
naked jazz gloss pages
clinical execution
seductive as scalpels
warm as polar ice floes
passionate as styrofoam
loveless bloodless corpses
cold animated fever
acid battery jerks
common denominator appeal
promises to be broken
dreams exsanguinated
lives to be killed
flesh...be...mine
