I watched as the dandelions blew away in the breeze
Like small tornadoes beneath me
You chuckle, then rush to collect them
Scared to see some unique begin to bloom?
Hunger rumbled through my body
Like a shouting gladiator
Piercing my stomach with his blade
Gyros spread across the set table
I watch as you sink your teeth into them
Starving like a ravenous tiger
Yet a heart softer than lavender
So, darling, let the games begin
Please offer me your hand to hold
Whisper to me, skin warm like tea
Olive complexion luring me in
Like I'm stuck inside a trance
Take this break while the tides are high
Guide me into this deep ocean
I'll backstroke through love's reservoir
This aura, it calls out my name impatiently
Sandalwood dances to my brain
The scent attracts me like a magnet
Farther away than Andromeda
My worry for the future, it drifts away
Now that ecstasy has incarcerated me
Nothing can ensure my soon release
you sink your teeth into my flesh
but only until you reach bone
you carve your initials with my own blood
and remind me i am not free
you use my back as a platform for better reach
hand me sweet fruit and tell me stories of hardship
you blind me from sight and then explain the world as if i never could see
you rewrite my story and force me to recite
i ask for mercy and you rip out my tongue
and demand i repent
pride towers over your humanity,
leaving you in the shadow of desire
you feed it leaving sacrifices of the weak at it’s altar
innovation as means for brutality
civility becomes a caste of righteousness
only the affluent can afford
difference becomes indifferent
the desire for understanding a distraction
while pools of suffering overflow the streets
waiting for you to drown
until it conquers you
you think its okay
to sink your teeth into her
and pull out chunks
until she thinks
thats where her worth comes from,
the pieces
she loses
and when did she stop
being able to raise her voice
above a
whisper?
and why do you ask
where the strength of her spine went?
where the woman you loved went?
when you trained it out of her
you took it from her
you dont get to be mad about what you
lost
you lost nothing
you didnt take
Make
mine spicy
Mama Mia. How
I love a spicy pizza.
Make it cheesy, so that it'll
please me. Oh and, in the middle
put a large pepperoni
so big and round that
I'll get fat even when
I look at that. No, that's not
a doughnut hole that you see now
in the middle. That's the piece of pepperoni! How I
wish that I could color in the center spicy red. You will
have to use instead what you've got inside inside your head:
Your imagination, right? Then imagine one more thing. Can you
guess? Sink your teeth into this pizza Yummy yum, now take a bite!
A MERE HINT OF MALICE
paprikash chicken…
sweet dish...sink your teeth into
...careful of the host
his eyes hypnotize…
delighted to wine and dine
...hungry for Harker*
single baying wolf
under your satin window
...salivating dreams

Nothing more that Ben and Jerry enjoy
Than Florida on Spring Break
Hanging out there at this moment
On this bright and sunny day
Swimming in the ocean
Just off the Southern shore
Waiting for a nice plump student
To dip his toes in and more
Nodding in agreement
They both would like that very much
After all what would two Great Whites
Rather crunch for lunch
Conversation rolls around to Daytona
Reminiscing of the time
Ben chowed down on four collage kids
While Jerry gorged on Nine
Yes, Spring is in the water
Where both the sharks relate
Nothing better in Florida when
You can sink your teeth into Spring Break
I need someone to save me from myself
Cause I can hurt myself more than anyone else
I steal the air from my lungs with a belt
I put fire onto my tongue and it melts
My skin is gone, my wounds are infected
The dotted lines upon my skin are self-inflicted
In my mind lingers a darkness, that does not yet exist
I cannot recall happiness, it's all a bloody mist
I can feel my skin burning from the scars I haven't made yet
This is pain, not just me being upset
I see crystal clear blood soak into the carpet
Although my pain is completely disregarded
Sink your teeth into me and devour all my flesh
Show me no mercy, make the floor a bloody mess
As I feel my breath decay and my sight's drifting away
I smile and close my eyes as I embrace my final fate
Move me into the light
Pull me away from these ghosts
Fill me with something I can feel
Awaken every inch of me with your touch
It's like waking from a nightmare
Your hands keep me burning inside
Longing for more
Your mouth electrifies me
Needing you deeper and deeper
Pushing,pulling,screaming,awakening to something primal
Everything fades as you sink your teeth into my skin
Nothing left but desire
Move in me
Harder and harder
Until everything explodes
And all that is left is peace
In the fire that surrounds us
An escape to a place I can lose myself
If only for a moment that feels like eternity
Tasting you
Touching you
Feeling you as I come undone
Unhinged from this world
The deeper you go
The harder you move
The more you shake me to my core
A pls only you can find
I long to be your slave
The cocaine wolves of Dallas. Sink your teeth into the night until they are numb, the beasts are lurking about looking for a cigarette to bum.
The cocaine wolves of Dallas, and everybody carries a knife. Slickback your hair and tighten your laces of the boots' on the throat of life.
Key bums in the bathroom, More more more. New friends linger, Brush their teeth with their finger, and anxiously watch the door. Feed of the night. My fists are clinched, my eyes are widened, I can see I'm feeling fine. Breathe life into to me. Bulletproof and shaky I feed deep into moonlight. Dominion over all things, with everything to gain insight. The cocaine wolves of Dallas, leave your old life behind. As the sunrises depression kicks in leaving you serotonin dry. The pack turns on each other, chewing on the by-and-by. The cocaine wolves of Dallas, where everybody carries a knife. The nighttime is the right time. If you feed the beast, the beast will feed of you.
Tonight the black cats and witches run amuck,
Tonight is the night I once again become moonstruck.
When will you come to me out of the mist,
You must come soon, I insist.
When the midnight hour draws near,
Everything will become clear.
Where are you now,
Can you hear me call to you without uttering a sound?
I hear only the quickness of my heart's beat,
Smell only the sweetness in the air I breathe.
I can sense you near,
Yet I feel no fear.
I know that tonight I shall give all of my being to you,
Yet ever since I've met you that is all I've wanted to do.
I want to give you my soul,
But that you have already stole.
Come to your bride,
Draw me to your side.
Sink your teeth into my nape,
And seal our fate.
Before the morn,
Anew vampire shall be born.
Take me as your bride forevermore,
And we shall be apart nevermore.
swing, my brother
and swig
your liver, brown -
sink your teeth into mine
bermuda grass in my brain
yet again
and the left plank
stands out. again.
here we are, both
shooting arrows blind
or are we just spineless?
I am not scared.
I will not run.
Sink your teeth into my pain.
Suffering soul is all you gain.
Hold my tongue I self refrain.
Rip,Rip,Rip your words.
I am on mute.
Find someone else who will follow suite.
Drive me crazy do your thing
Tear my heart out and eat it
No let’s start again
Drive me crazy do your thing
Sink your teeth into peaches
No still not right
Drive me crazy do your thing
Pout your lips and look at me
Getting there
Lust is primal in the eye
Bedazzles a head like
An electric shock
Flesh it speaks
Mind it’s locked
Rapacious!
Drive me crazy for a while.
Hurt me some more, if thats what you need
how well you hide who you are
have you always worn that mask?
you took from me while smiling
you stole my heart, with promises
you steal my child ,with your freedom
its all you really wanted...
you want something to hurt...
to punish for your abuse.. but a child?
and your hurt, you poor, poor, girl
somebody, give her a place to stay..
who took your innocence?
why make me pay?
do you not forgive?
i only see your potential
if i saw you, i wouldnt love you
an angry, lier and thief
dont tell me the truth, or yourself
it will only hurt you
and free me from your curse
you need me to suffer to make you happy
all vampires need blood
why do i love the wounded?
sink your teeth into my heart,
enjoy the blood, and my suffering
I have cried more than this
i will forgive, i will forgive, i will forgive.
