Ouch
Excitement building in anticipation
last night when getting dressed
late for a date and in a hurry
yet hoping to look my best
but in a flurry had to scurry
not paying close attention
when doing up my tight blue jeans
tho' it bears not repeated mention
I now know what misery means
zipped the zip fastener sadly far too fast
and not wearing a

Venus Flytrap
Every little word,
It used to attract me like honeysuckle in a mid-summers bloom.
The nectar that dripped from the flower smelt sweet, the beautiful yellow pollen that left a trace on everything it touched.
Every. Little. Word.
As the seasons changed,
I got used to you finding a new place to bloom and leave your mark there,
I'm fine sharing

Song of The Venus Flytrap No 9: AABB
Unthinkable odds descriptive recounts,
The Venus Flytrap, U.S.A, amounts.
Unique to Carolina's, north and south,
triggers sensory hairs in its hinged mouth.
Small insect or arachnid alerts trap,
then leafy draws down close up tight till snap.
Carnivorous plants like soft and sober
subtropical wetlands southeast seaboard.
The Venus Flytrap is the most active
of such species. Sweet nectar's retractive
luring potential prey into its

Flytrap
dead ends and crop circles
split ends and dark circles
everyone thinks i'm a mirror
i'm not the mirror, you are
lock me in your basement
i've got a strange, sick craving
in the painting, the heads are above me
but it's my blood they're using, you see
i remember being the one who killed the buzz
you remember me, the one you'd never

Venus Flytrap
You seduced and teased my yearning, with your succulent lure
A floral fragrance sumptuous and bizarrely pure,
You impaled and intoxicated my mind, with your corporeal charms
My impassioned heart, raced to your ominously parted arms!
You clasped me like an octopus, locked me in your iron embrace
Then I saw the restrained venom, glistening on your shifting face!
Irrevocably entrapped!

Iv. a Flytrap Slams Shut
A Flytrap slams shut
Blink
of
an
eye
And a stone
splash
sink
at twilight
Down to the
core
of
essence
Silent and formless the bottom
close eyes
strain to hear
listen
listen
ah!
There is your heartbeat
A pair of
deadweight
arms
wrapped around
A Parasite!
the Flytrap
closing
in
on
yr
heart
Once invisible, now bathed in the
spotlight
for an instant!
Kill It!
Rip out the roots!
No
remorse!
There! Aha!
The
Thing
is
dead!
and now you are
