Pain Is The Sky When It Crumbles And Crashes Burying Your Dreams Beneath Its Merciless Suffocating Weight,
Pain Is The Storm That Shreds Your Body Apart Each Raindrop A Blade Each Gust A Scream Of Despair,
Pain Is The Spell That Binds Your Soul In Chains Locking Your Light Within A Prison Of Endless Night,
Pain Is The Knife That Kisses Your Vena Cava Spilling Rivers Of Agony From A Wound That Never Heals,
Pain Is The Flood That Drowns Your Veins In Sorrow Surging Through Arteries With Waves Of Torment Untamed,
Pain Is The Poison That Clogs Your Throat A Venomous Chokehold Stealing The Last Breath Of Your Fading Hope,
Pain Is The Grinder That Severs Your Head Gears Of Suffering Crushing Every Whisper Of Sanity You Owned,
Pain Is Euphorbia Burning Your Eyes A Venomous Bloom That Blinds You With Tears Of Eternal Regret,
Pain Is Her Love False Yet Intoxicating Stealing Your Life While Leaving You Chained To A Grave Of Longing,
She Is Both The Pain And The Drug Of That Pain A Curse You Crave A Torment That Lasts Forever.
Lavish pink mingles in purple pastures
An amalgam of foam in seraphic blue
Vena cava diffuses mauve melancholy
Effulgent splashes lulling tidal shores
Nostalgic desires flutter in savoir-faire
Droning all drowsy, a fragrant love affair
Enchanted bells tinkle, as bees meander
Ripples of essence in vales of lavender.

En la tierra de dioses y monstruos
Yo era un angel
Viviendo en el jardin del mal
Pecados y maldiciónes cargo en esta vida
Brillando como un faro de fuego
Tienes esa medicina que necesito
Que va directo ala vena del corazón quiero más y más hasta que deje mi corazón de latir .....lentamente
, hazlo suavemente
Dios y yo no nos llevamos bien, así que ahora canto Nadie se llevará mi alma
Pero mándame hacia unas vacaciones
Motel, alcohol, drogas y estoy cantando
Una vez más por mis venas esto es el cielo, lo que realmente quiero
Es inocencia perdida
Inocencia perdida
En la tierra de dioses y monstruos
Yo era un ángel, buscando la fama
La vida imita al arte
Tienes esa medicina que necesito
Dope, dispara directamente al corazón por favor
hasta que mi corazón deje de latir una vez más una vez más ......
she leapt too fast,
bruising her vena amoris.
soulmate rubbed salve upon the wounded finger
with a covenant kiss.

vena amoris - vein of love - Romans believed that the vein in the fourth finger
on the left hand ran directly to one’s heart (Brides.com)
I'm boring through your ventricles
I'm being terribly invasive
My quiet warm breath
Keeping measure and pace
To such meticulous work
Fills your four chambers
You don't feel one thing
You feel everything
So close, so intimate
My eyelids flutter against your tricuspid valve
My whole body is fluttering now
Because now
With my lips brushing against your aortic rigatoni
I am swimming inside your deepest being
Your heavy pumping heat
My legs now dangling out of your pulmonary noodle
I've become miniscule in this glorious museum
That keeps you alive
Forgive my exit now, my darling,
This time in your heart has changed me
You are the force which wobbles this reckoning world
This I realize
Miraculously sliding up
Your superior vena cava
*Matthew Caliri
your frightened sense is enough,
valor-wrapped
in braincell’s guts,
and this
because -
(two clicks watch)
one
man just went; and
I have drenched
your two dry sentries'
arteries
in a blood-shot tide.
precious rises
time and pressure
presses the vena cava;
will you split-run
at zero hours,
or lie alive,
(save one pump)
and bunk with
penitence?
