The cat and fast cars
So much bad blood
Flows between them...

there be  brutal, blood in my hungry, healthy heart

there's bitter,  bad blood in my horrible, Holy heart

thus in my hideous, huge heart blood  in my honest, helpful heart

You shoot me then blame me for pointing the gun.

You stab me then insist that I carve the meat.

You drown me but expect me to breathe

You spit on my memory then ask it to forgive.

You want control of my life or you don't want me to live....

Bad blood.

Yes, that's the substance

That appears to be touring amongst us

Stains of a silent vendetta

Howling against my cranium

Classically, such a rhythm dances

With a carelessly, continuous tune

Am I but an indefinite design

In this fearsome game?...

Beastly Betty badly breaks her brother’s
Buttocks with a bat upon his butt.
Broken, beaten brother barely bothers
Bellowing at bawdy Betty. But

Because bad blood between both babe and bro
Builds baleful bias brought by Betty's bane,
Beleaguered Bob bestows a bitter blow.
By blasting boiling bile on Betty's brain.

A good memory
Is not always good,
Storms kill harmony
As bad blood bleeds mood.


A good tender heart
Knows such awful pain,
Sharp cuts craft odd art
As oozing tears stain.


A good man bears much
As joy leaches fast,
See bad deals burn touch
As cruel blows outlast.

Venom rushes toward her heart via her veins
Elle tastes her rage
Nearly choking on the poison in her mouth
Talking seems a waste of time

Sophie insists
Elle resists, but
Soon relents and 
Sets to pouring it all out
In no time she feels better, 
Out with the bad blood, like letting leeches suck her dry
Nothing cures an ill spirit faster than a good friendly listener...

So much bad blood
Blind hatred floods


Mass massacre
Now made sicker


No sense of shame
Violence wears names


Heads for trophies 
Sick sad story


Age of Kali
Mad tragedy


Life seems so cheap
To vengeance deep


Innocent blood
Caught in mad flood


Such tragic days
Where evil stays


Let us now pray
For better days

I'm surprised,
this morning the body pain
that is my usual sleeping partner
had melted away.

Strange because I had dreamt
that my eyes were full of blood.
A horrifying nightmare.

Maybe there is something going on
akin to a spiritual leaching;
bad blood drained way
new wine under old skin.

I don't wish to brag though,
the mirror still reflects
a rusty bag of nails
and two bloodshot eyes....

Let your words come like leeches
sucking bad blood from the body
of my work. Swell with pride
excising disturbing humors.
Ill, I have come, and arm-bare,
begging to be saved.
Open a vein, young apothecary.
There is plenty of humor to spare.
I do not mind the mending knife,
the fire of its kiss only brightens my chances of living.
I do not mind the gluttony of innocent words
as they draw away the poison.
Fever throbs in my ears.
Cure me....
