RETARDAION
Infections Spread, Heart Stutters,
Mind Seizes, Life Stumbles.
Infections Fly, Heart Fails,
Mind Fumbles, Life Faint.
DEAD MAN THAT WAS
Man lying prone, limbs spread,
Muscles resting peaceful.
Secreting scent sweet, seductive,
Radiating resilient harmony.
Face quite, cold and hairy.
Lips contorted into a deathly grin.
Eyes glare, upwards glazed and twinkling.
Emotions unbound, stowed away in depths.
Thoughts scattered, random, secretive.
Mind still, broken, unfixable.
Control gone, sapped, lost,
Power off, lights out.
He was Great.
He was Good.
He was Kind.
He was Handsome.
He was Bright.
He was Tricked.
He was Murdered
He is Rotting.
END OF HEART
Alone I cry in the crowd,
Blind to those weeping around me.
I feel lonely but I have barely tasted,
The emotion.
Wondering the crowd, I sight the monkey.
Long has it tortured me, caused me dampness.
This baboon has never let the leash out far.
Teased me with unobtainable rewards.
Hooded my figure crawls closer.
Alert for signs that my quarry notices the hunt.
My claws disappear, twin snakes hiss,
As they slither backwards out of their den.
Cloaked in darkness, I slink closer.
I can almost touch my prey.
I take two steps; I am breathing on it.
It feels me; She turns and stares into my eyes.
I whisper, “freedom!”
My hands flash out from beneath my cloak
The twin snakes, rush across her neck,
Parting the skin, quenching their thirst in her life.
She falls, down as if time is her plaything.
Shock her last visage, forever eternal,
Her white dress now red collared.
A pile of white with specks of red for eternity.
A scream, I am no longer imprisoned.
I am free, I know see all around me.
My snakes still hunger, my hands obey.
The screaming stops if only for a moment.
The twins hate the sound they wish to stop it.
They have a new quest; they will win or die.
Striking and coiling, even defending themselves
And their new prisoner
Freedom was sweet, yet so short,
Now my new masters are hungry I will feed them.
Ten lives wasted, yet the hunger goes on.
Now I am circled by that worthy of my masters.
The hunter is now the hunted
Stalked this dreaded night by my ex-masters finest
She taught them well, but me better.
Three die unnecessary, fools rushed, young hot blood.
Six left, oldest most trusted, two with long blade,
Two with axe, last with snakes of their own.
One of axe lurches, I side step, snake held out,
In and out, another life dropped.
Its brother flies from my hand into one of blade.
Skull parting, venom straight to brain.
Time plays her tricks again.
I am there blades knees haven’t touched the ground.
The twins are joined again. Together, they bite.
Vicious strike, hiss, they catch the last of blade.
They order my knee to rise, landing a blow to the mans stomach.
Another life spilt.
The other snakes, wait coiled, time is their mistress.
She grants them their lives, while they worship her.
The last axe man throws his tool, I drop low.
The blade caress' my back. My snake springs, poisoning another neck.
A lasts my acolytes the last left, followers of my own gods.
We face, bow, and set to our task like businessmen.
My youngest follower throws one of his snakes, foolish.
Mid-air I snatch it and turn it back upon him his heart punctured.
My successor is last. I have taught him well.
Possibly to well, our snakes clash, hissing and slithering over each other.
The metal screeches, sparks fly. He thrust low to my abdominal and punctures.
I strike high piercing the heart. He was a good man, I cry for him.
I stagger, away, shot through the back from a distance.
Arrow shreds lung, mouth drools pink foam.
My heart cries, my snakes thirst more.
I deliver them my own, they stay indebted to me.
I loved her, my soul cries.
HE STARES
He stares, eye shifting constantly.
Trying to avoid eye contact
Sneaking a peek breasts his focus.
Physical attraction blooming,
Restless lust, sinning his life away.
No cares for the pain he causes,
Thoughts travel from the path.
Detouring into phant’sy
Body ignores mind disobedient
Taking commands from sin.
Her senses prickle, she feels watched.
Looks around searching,
Finds her admirer, and returns gaze.
Shy he turns his eye aside, shamed.
Flagrantly his eyes betray him.
A darting look back she is still looking.
What is she thinking, “freak, funny, cute?”
He stands there wondering; “Does she find
My glances creepy, alluring, complementary?
I wish the later two, because I am told to.”
Imagination flaunting its power, unchecked,
Unbridled it floats around, going where it pleases.
Taking its toll on the body, its pint of blood.
Its pound of flesh. What more could it take.
Hormones are his monkey, the large Baboon.
Heart safe from sin, for now, clean safe
Already the heart is claimed for another.
There is room for all, but some live richer
Than others, I miss the lady of the manor.
She is distant, her face fades each day.
I give you what is most valuable to me.
I miss you, so I give to you freely,
My body is the armour around my
Felling, the armour can only be dented
Thrown around, it keeps what matters safe.
For You!
HOW IT FEELS
I need you, I want you.
My heart aches, my throat aches.
I yearn for your touch, your warmth.
Just to lay down with you, caress you.
I feel like my soul is missing.
With out you the land seems empty,
Being deprived of you leaves me wounded.
Bleeding from a cut, the flow can only be stemmed,
By one, the only one, mistress of my heart.
You are my mistress I am your sad servant.
The only feelings left is sadness and hope,
A great sadness, unbridled, ravaging
My body, heart, mind and soul all sore.
A great hope, of seeing you,
Of spending time with you, of loving you.
You are wanted; you make me feel special.
Seeing you momentarily only tormented me,
I need you to stay until we grow tired of company.
Then we part, finding we thirst for one an other
Moments afterwards and we run back,
To spend more time together. Watching the world,
Revolve around your beauty.
I Love You!
