Those of us who have crossed over to the other side of death and returned….
Carry a certain sadness, a certain longing to be in heaven where peace abounds…
The evil one knows of this sorrow we all carry deep within our hearts…
He taunts us with discouraging thoughts and scenes of broken love affairs and marriages…
Making us think love & happiness is well beyond our reach….
He feeds those insecurities, like a voraciousness beast until all that is left is a deep longing and great sadness….
The great sadness turns into apathy, then we walk around emotionless….
You see us everyday looking off into the distance because that is where our hearts are…
Forever lost in the distant sky…..
A burning carnal desire,
exquisite fire glowing hot,
is joyful kindling!
Lingering mouths
nourish obsessed passion;
quivering rapture
stimulates the unabashed.
Voraciousness wreaks
Xanadu’s youthful zeal!

HORSEBACK DECIDING
I recall that laughter, that happiness and smile
she made the sunshine seem dull and not nearly so bright
I make myself remember but only for a while
because the memory of her turns day into night
we laughed together by a fire on the beach
and sang two part harmony to our favorite song
we sucked on a succulent peach
and it seemed as if nothing in the world could go wrong
I recall taking her horseback riding
and how I laughed as she screamed down the trail
it seems not her but the horse was doing the deciding
as it chewed on it's bit and flicked its tail
all these moments are meandering in my memory's file
she gave me enough but I still yearned for more
but then came the violence, the voraciousness and vile
DEAD AT TWENTY FOUR
© 2012.....copyright PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
Frigidness forces blood through these veins.
Age old affliction shadows us, producing pain.
Thoughts penetrating the darkness and night
Relishing their fear the only desire and delight
Voraciousness eternally the maladies' truth
Fatefully when turned each maintained its youth.
Necessity forces us to sleep before breaking dawn.
Wandering forever we scour for every new pawn.
Understanding Heaven will never be our haven.
Living while dead forever monstrosity's sin
Prayers unanswered hell genuinely our plight
Purposefully chasing termination to our fight
Reality tossed aside romancing every reaction.
Justifying our very existence the true affliction

Please, please, please don’t eat me
I am so tiny
Not a meal at all
Eight spindly legs and no abdomen to speak of
So please, please, please don’t eat me
I have tapped and drummed on your web
To soothe your voraciousness
Now let me crawl stealthily to the back
Move aside your spinneret
And copulate
But please, oh please don’t eat me
I am not a meal you would call worthy
Of those ferocious mandibles
And the glinting cold gems of your myriad eyes
Please, please don’t eat me
Not this time any way
And if you like I will promise to be a ready meal
Just add water
And you will eat your fill
But not this time
Ok
Not this time
This time let me escape
The deed done
I impregnate
You
And as I scramble over the treads of sticky silk
The panic in my heart
Is a treacherous mistake
For she looks always for the perfection in her lovers
ESCAPE !!!!!!!!
AAAAAGGHHHHH !
What was that
Oh no……
You beautiful …………………………………… cold…………………..
………………………………voracious……………… Bit………………………..
