friend
DEAR FRIEND,
THE END IN FRIEND HITS THE DEEP END,
THE SHADOW I USED TO DEFEND,
AT PRESENT I HAVE NONE TO DEPEND,
ITS AS IF ALL YOU DID WAS PRETEND.
DEAR FRIEND,
WITH THE SHADOWS OF YOU I SPENT,
ALL YOU LEFT WAS A PAINFUL DENT,
CURRENTLY ALL I CAN DO IS VENT,
LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO SERPENT.
DEAR FRIEND,
I NOW

Women are like Wild Honey
They start thick—
not the polite kind you stir into tea
not the mild drizzle on breakfast toast
but the kind that runs hot
slow
dangerous
coating your tongue before you grasp
the price of its pleasure.
They start golden—
dripping off the comb
sun pressed into their marrow
too rich, too syrupy—
gumming up the gears of your schemes
too

Scorpion Sting
Scorpion Sting
I hide in the dark.
With a sting, be alert.
I can vanish in the light.
I hunt in the night.
I can draw some blood.
The anguish is just enough.
I am manipulative.
Don’t touch, with temptation.
I know that I’m kinda creepy.
At night it’s time to feed.
Don’t hesitate to

Betrayal of my Fu,
Is a knife to heart.
Stabbing so hard, piercing so deep
Makes one's eyes bleed.

Sting in the tale
There once was a donkey from Delhi
Who dared call a tiger's breath smelly
Tiger roared out in great rage
Which donkey could not assuage
And ended up in tiger's belly

Sting
The sting in my throat when I swallow that pill
You know the pill.... that they say is hard to swallow
The knot in my stomach and my heart
As my mind replays the hurt , the neglect ,that I just want to be pretty and feel loved
The appetite that I lose because I think something

The sting
The stinging feeling afterwards
On my thighs
I still just got to lie
"I'm okay"
I try to say.
Then I put on my fake smile
My overthinking is worth miles

The Cold Sting
Yeah.
Bought the ring
Tutti Frutti
Five-karat bling.
Toast a brew
We had a drink
Big scandal grew
Felt the cold sting.
Face tabloid news
Waiting till spring.
Winter time choose
A Double will fling.
Blue Gucci shoes
Songbird can sing.
Ten years gone past
Didn't mean a thing.
Whole Truth
Without spin
Both lose
Nobody wins.

Yes, I Remember Her Venomous Sting
Yes, I Remember Her Venomous Sting
The newfound rock the size of a baseball
I throw it into an angry window
To hear with bursted ear and see glass fall
This hunchback world what the hell does it know
People, crowding earth with their rabbled lives
Amidst this decay, this old dying heap
What of ones' life is happy, does it thrive
Or

The Sting of Nettled Showers
To the sound of pelting rain, she woke in early morning
Upon the tattered tin roof, it rhythmically pitter pattered
No sunlight peeked through clouds on daylight's dawning
She thought of him and of the dreams that were shattered,
of the nights she'd spend without end, remorse spawning
Windblown rain pummeled windows, on sills it splashed
Obscured was her view, vision

Alli Butterfly Sting Dance Bee Love
Alli a girl
I used to know
From my not to distant past
Came to me in a dream last night
Once I fell soundly I thought asleep
And that dream was this
She seemingly appeared out of
nowhere and at first kissed me upon
my cheek honey sweet
And I began to both simultaneously
go weak at the knee and
