You perfected your lies to an art.
You succeeded in breaking my heart.
I shed not one tear,
for the hour is near,
when arsenic will keep us apart....

My wants and my desires
Medea to be heard
If only Medusa to afro the snake

In my kitchen no arsenic
but do not step on my toes
as my fangs will deliver the venom...

met Days of Wine and Roses 
Old friends enjoyed brunch
with Arsenic and Old Lace
at Tiffany's for breakfast.

I must be nutty as a fruitcake
      for attending my sister's
         'pre-marital wake'

   Sis likened marriage to 'slow death'
   She didn't want to run out of breath

      So I served her Arsenic 'n Rum in her steak...

Rose, rose, my sweet rose red
doth thou see thy fate ahead?
The heavens cry dark arsenic rains
poisoning your fragile veins
Rose, rose, my sweet rose pale
the liquid death hath left thou frail
weak and withered, spirit worn
with stems turned black and petals torn

Frack off!
Radon in my water, killing me
Arsenic in by veins, making me cough
Cuardilla, ruining my tea
Killing the cows
In Fylde I protest
No fracking here!
Go away




I want to dedicate this to all those farms affected by the fracking crisis! 
I hope your water will be drinkable soon xxxx...

She saw her husband hold a woman tight.
Began plotting his death with adamsite.
Rage dissipated and became more light
When his cousin came to spend the night

For it was the woman she had seen
Hugging her husband so rich and keen.
Adamsite pushed behind things that clean.
Killing him now would be really mean...

poison 
                    toxic, fatal 
   paralyzing, destroying, consuming 
 venom, arsenic, remedy magic bullet 
administering, counteracting, reversing
                helpful, effective 
                      antidote

Heavy metals make you dumb.
Arsenic, Gold, Plumbum.

Those metals take from the dome.
Why not try nickle, iron, or chrome?

Chlorine, sulfur, and radon will take away your breath.
Carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen can make meth.

While mercury, zinc, and copper were known to the boomers,
lithium, silicon, and titanium were just late bloomers....

In the empty house 
of snow,
though, interred a blade of grass
when I was searching one
midnight flame

in frozen night, on
parting lips of darkness.
The art of delusion
churns the sea for an untitled
arsenic,of a blue throat.

I am dynasty and I am 
the king of million whites.
Fatherless sins
in rusted boots
were having a last laugh.

A gorilla asked for my stomach today
I could do without it, so I gave it away.
My family thought this was a huge mistake
Except for my gargoyle, his name is Mandrake.

Some of the relatives began to make fun of me.
Mandrake lovingly slipped arsenic into their tea.
No one bosses us around anymore.
Except maybe the once-healthy lion, who is dying next door....

Pure hatred
Venomous looks

Poisonous voices
Arsenic hearts

Just remember
You don't want to be

My enemy

I'm dangerous
Looks can kill

Stab in the back
Gun hidden

Don't look away
You might miss me

I'm your enemy

So just be aware
I'm hunting you

Witchcraft
Dungeons

I'll find you
Count on it because

It's April Fool's Day!   ;-)...

Irreverent arsenic of lake bottom 
was seeping in me
I was riding on waves, moon-stuck.

The nude shot 
of anemone, blindfolded
after the criminal assault.
Why they were throwing the lewed comments ?

A raw cave 
of white pain, drags the deity out
and dances on hawthorns.
The butchers become sick,
sick to the bones.

O democracy, king was not wise,
wise was not king.

Nope you’re the blind fool,
eyes closed to everything here;
Authenticity; 
Quirky and always honest 
always lighting up a room;

So absentminded, 
one time was one too many; 
Boiling; festering;  
It swallowed you like arsenic, 
poisoning you so slowly; 

You put blinders on 
to all of that potential 
right in front of you;
Why entertain naysayers?
Ignore the fool in your head....

love is like poison a lethal dose of arsenic straight in my veins 
and you sit there and push the plunger 
while you see the fear in my eyes
as I beg you to stop yet you sit there as my eyes fill with tears
then you are the last thing I see as my eyes glaze over 
then like that my life fades out as it cuts to black
I hope your satisifed you get your life back 
while mine slowly fades to black...

The poison in your charm is so endearing
It’s no wonder I’m back for more
A concoction of alluring influences
I’m simply mesmerised, I adore
You’re a cocktail or lovely potions
That I’ll crave for ever more
Your lips captivate my fate
Your poison, the arsenic of your tongue
Poisoned by a kiss I’ve simply been undone
I’m cursed for evermore
Unless, perhaps you’re the cure I’ve been craving all along...

the orange of the burning house
is the most comforting color i've seen in years
it's better than the red that's been coming out
of my eyes and nose and ears

as a compulsive liar and a pyromaniac
i know a thing or two about hell
oh yeah, i'm doing fine, i've never cracked
and i've never been so well

i'm blowing all my energy
on hypothetical drugs
who needs TV
when you've got a bucket filled with bugs...

women can be killers too
vicious heartless murderers
arsenic used to be undetectable
odorless and tasteless, weapon of choice
feeding it to your victim is gruesome
they suffer a slow, painful agonizing death
it lasts for days and days; no one knows what is wrong
except for the scheming, conniving, murdering wife.
how can they watch a man they once loved suffer like this?
Is insurance money worth their soul?...

You’re so intensely jealous 
your words taste like arsenic;
Poison, oozing from every crevice;

As your eyes are darkening 
it’s clear you missed an opportunity 
to understand what’s been happening;

Front page looks and a model personality  
let me give your green eyes a clue,
maybe follow his lead and keep it classy; 

Fixing your attitude is long overdue, 
Your inner monster makes you look like a fool....
