Blissful warmth soon turns unbearable
I cannot move from where I lay
The once soft grass punctures my skin
I know where I have fallen 
And I do not want to stay...

Faith serves as ballast
anchoring my calmest self -
stress loves to perturb my still.

Faith holes make punctures
leaving me to drown at sea -
stress floats just to watch me breathe.

Figment
Fragment
Fracture


Deep cut
Blood stains
Pain punctures


Iodine bites
Torn flesh
Scar tissue


Iodine ooze
Blood dyed
Strange tint


Wander
Broken
Wonder


Puncture
Poignant
Authentic


Pain hurls
Blood clots
Healing begins

The sky tonight is full of scars
Gaping like my heart-flesh
Punctures of its myriad stars
Still bloody red and fresh

Oh night, don't slip away
I have much more to say
Before you turn to day

I will make right
The sky tonight

Temporary bliss
of elation can't disguise
an frozen river
responsible for turning
people's skins waterless and
creeping through otherwise joy.

Rum that punctures your
stomach, leading to fever
and running disease.
Here's the condition: You run 
and pass, but the pain doesn't....

Blissful torus conjoins two hearts
Parallax of scriptures 
Centre wherefrom ignition starts
Ancient theories punctures

Left side’s the physical 
Right end spiritual
Entwined, field magical

When heart’s porous
Blissful torus

Her blade was her tongue, sharper than any axe or hatchet
Her husband was the butchering block with slices stabs and punctures
Others saw it. He complained sometimes, but she had no ears.
Only a tongue that sliced and diced, 
taking him apart gradually one little chip and chunk at a time....

Air perfect substance, high winds are gusting,
flashes come in bunches, trees are bustling,
thunder like punches, rain pounds and punctures,
twister erupting, lawn furniture bumping,
hear noisy thumping, houses are busting,
street obstruction, ambulance rushing.

like nocturnal nature
savoring smirking punctures
tainted torrent traced
over ocean's trail
wielded waves wounded
hankering horizon hoisted

like saucy sequoia
cussing dainty destroyer;
lanky wind's lawyer

like felon flames
fiery rage trained
puke whooshing wail

same, salient emotions
fostered fondled fusion.

Hideous hank hoisted
smoothened scrunched sculpted 
tactic turn twisting 
scared surges skipping 
smithereens into span
contracted turbulent trance

vile vibed passion
inflected per punctures 
birthed by seizures

damped draws drooping 
growling gaunt gaiety 
lanky lust lurching 

ensconced eyes envisaged
weary lids wakes.

pruned passions bled
clutching callous crest
felon fills fetched
dark dances decked
hoity hankers squashed
taunted thrills trashed

wet wits wanky
sassy sips sugary
nauseating nocturnal nitty

spanked syllables wept
drenching drooling depth
ballsy hollow belched

lusty length lent
porous punctures spent.

When we get to our appointed heaven
hearts and minds still cooling
slights and insults recovering
from many a minor bullet hole
from small caliber affronts
loathing’s and spites
and other petty punctures
wounds covered over so long
with rank plasters
plugs and scabs
that even now leave
a tell-tale lingering smell
an inevitable odor
of a once self-inflicted hell...

eerie eyes etched'n
cloned callous crest
felon face featured
fostering porous punctures
dark dribbles drooled
hoisting haggard pukes

voluptuous vision danced
taunting tempestuous trance
bewitched aura bagged

irking instinct itched
hoisting sassy skills
coursing mouth clipped

bounty battle birthed
saline liquid slipped.

Can’t function without it
The conjunctional life
And punctures confounding
A subjugal strife

My endurance depleting
My inevitable fallacies
Determined to beat this
Chemical malady

but

Deep down in the ditch
Is where I feel safe
Weak in the grips
Of insanity’s embrace

You can’t lift me out
Try as you may
Insipid, I pout
Is this where I’ll stay?

Sad story here:
Weary words crawl,
Slip, slide and brawl
Devoid of cheer.


Sadness now curls:
Weary form squeeze,
Cold windy breeze,
Harsh wintry swirls.


Sad tale now breaks:
Feel lull afraid,
Pain, strain and dread,
Can fate forsake?


No need to fuss:
Sad feelings heap,
Dark grip yearns sleep,
Fate punctures lust.

Ink invokes ire
Feel flame forge fire


Meet mellow mind
Flirt flooding finds


Speak simply sound
Rancid rate round


Taste telling times
Reap rippling rhymes


Cast clumsy cheer
Prompt poignant peer


Taste toilsome tell
State spicy spell


Laughter leaps loud
Petty poise proud


Word winding way
Prize punctures pay

Love has always hurt me in the past,
It leaves me cold and always last.
Love leaves me open to a wounded heart,
and then punctures me with cupids dart.
Blood runs down my broken sole,
Leaves me cold and empty in the devils hole.
I wan't what i can't have alone but free,
Does anyone really wan't to be me?
Scars of the past kill everything i wanted to be,
Does anyone recognize me, Angila Lee?...

The scars on my heart
Seen by the slaches on my skin
To feel the pain
Rising from deep within

Death is not the wanting
Blackness is not the desire
Imagine of the blood
Could smoother the fire

She desperately reached out
In riddles and ryhms
Trying to put the pieces together
Of all the hard times

The thorn that twist and turn
As it punctures my side
No one hears me scream
All my silent cries...

callous clouds cremating
hoisted horizon hibernating
mystic mirror birthed
meagre mimick mounted
pulpy punctures lent
lanky lust wretched 

bounty boulevard bruised
humpty-dumpty craving cruise
perforated pilgrims puked

sassy similitude seeped'n
vulnerable voluptuous trees
dark dribbles creaked

airy aura tripped
nocturnal nature gripped.

In simplest terms I am a nightmare. 
Pray! O—do not let us fall asleep! 

Stop—and witness me cut your ego
Down to the bone where I shall feast
Upon the blood of your conscience as a 
Vampire would until there remains 
Nothing but the raw opened flesh
Of your shattered soul. 

I am the voice in your head—
And we shall remain savage and
As one entity which weighs heavy
On your mind and punctures your
Sanity. 

O—my darling—how I do love you so....
