A Masked Requiem for a Virulent Era
A cold berating
light-erasing rope
survives
relentless
entropy
(another year ends
another variant contends)
Desolate debris in
empty
erroneous caves
swallow
blank pages
submerged in
mind-warping seas
where flying memes
wait for normalcy
where words freeze
& thoughts
become sadistic
(a poisoned (out of mind) mind
crawls on the radar)
Trapped
in a gray tomb:
the inert inerrants
flounder in

A Masked Creator of Virulent Vipers
We are controlled by what we create
A vexing tool from a creator?--
I found my death-note in a bottle
Then, silently stabbed at Caligula's sea
Obscurity has founded me
All night, we danced with Death and all their friends
We reserved our table: Misfortune and I
To crawl, ever-lovingly into self-destruction
What fevered, feckless filth are we:
A brood of virulent vipers--
With cordial

Virulent and Vascilating Vibe
From somewhere in sky dropped a scribe,
Who had been with virulent, vacillating vibe;
Green beans stringy,
And somewhat dingy;
As to what he said and will always ascribe.

Virulent Love
You're love is acid
Bubbling
From every pore
(scalding);
You are the angelic face
Of malignent venom
Infecting every cell
How I despise my
Treacherous lust
Body betrayer.
Decomposing

Virulent
Love such as this is virulent.
Caustic and toxic, this love burns my innards.
I burn for you.
I need no antidote.
This love is worth the pain.
Your venomous tongue lashes me.
Words cannot hurt me now.
Your eyes petrify me, Medusa.
But my advances will not be halted.
I need my venomous fix.
My blood boils,
Ready for your poison to contaminate.

Virulent Garden
red rose of rage
indigenous to the past
suffocating progress
May your thorns wither
and your petals wilt
seeds of weary disquiet
sprouting deception and chaos
with diverging agitation
I pray the ground be barren
on which you were spilt
Binding vines of poison ivy
perversely overpowering
asphyxiating roots of renewal
let your growth be stunted
prune back your aberration
Parasite that is jealousy
diseasing with discontent
and stinging bite of
