DeviousDefiance

Skin as soft as a baby's breath.   Slopes and curves,   mountains and depths. A sigh as timeless as Death's last kiss.   A brush of our lips;   tenderness. Teetering on the edge of your eyes,   I slip and fall in.   I don't care if I survive. Consumed by your gaze   I barely remember, to breathe;   my mind too much a haze. Silky and wet slithers each serpent.   My tongue, your tongue,   Their dance just perfect.

Look into my eyes and witness the darkness, Eternally fuming, eternally consuming, I know where your heart is... Shut away your soul, Divert and hide your eyes, But try as you might, you surly can't. Too loud are your curiosity's cries. So take a good look. Seconds, minutes or hours. It matters not, for you are trapped. Your body, Mind, Spirit, And soul... All mine to devour.

Let me be vulnerable. Let me be weak. I don't want to be strong anymore, Just give me a lap where I can sleep. Give me arms that'll lock tight Around me as I've done for others countless times before. Give me the soothing voice that says, "It's okay, I'll be strong for both of us, you don't have to fight anymore." Give me fingers that will massage my muscles. Fingers that will gladly and patiently work at the eternal knots in my back. Give me shoulders that may not be strong enough, But are more than willing to temporarily bear the weights and worries that make my spine splinter and crack. Give me a neck into which I can

I am who I am, Not who you want me to be. Remove your blindfold from my face, So I can see what I'm meant to see. The same old bullshit they feed me, It continues to hurt my head, And the world's downward spiral, Continues to fill me with dread. Children starve and die, A few thousand a day they say. Yet those fuckers with the money, Too selfish to take the problem away. Those fuckers with the power, Too caught up in themselves to care, Thinking if they throw cash at charities, The problem will just disappear. These children who are our future, Steadily growing into their teens, Watch all the stupidity on TV,

They beat a man to death. That just aint right. Six on one they cornered him, And he refused to go down without a fight. When I read it in the paper this morning, I was sad and outraged. A 400 pound black man they kept saying, As if he was some animal to be caged. Many of us are quick to play the race card, And rightfully so. Six on one and they killed him out of self defense, That's not how it's supposed to go To serve and pretect is their motto. Yet what the hell was that? He had drugs in his blood and he fought back, Yet his death is justified cause he's fat? The camera in the cruiser showed them land at least s

The mind. The one place where each man is imprisoned. Divine. I know not the reason this curse man is given. Differ. Each man is his own individual. Obscure. Each path is unknown, never to be visual. Hope. The one candle who's light will never fade. Scope. The harmony of balance, always changing, always the same. Dream. The world where I can be whatever I want to be. Obscene. The world full of horrors no child should see. Shattered. My conscience as I ponder the intricacies of man. Battered. The weak and innocent by cruel and unseen hands. Math. Supposedly the universal language, the essence of logic. Wr

The eye at the center of my storm. The fuel to my heart that keeps me warm. The force that calms my self-destructive harm. And for that, I love you. My breath of fresh air in this world of shit. The vision of beauty in my mind before I lose it. The glue that keeps me from falling to bits. And for that, I love you. Your soothing voice stills the tide. The truth from you my soul cannot hide. Angels cry in joy knowing you're by my side. And for that, I love you. With you I can shed light on my nightmares. When I feel upset it is you who cares. The lap of luxury, as promised I'll take you there. Because Kendra girl, I love you. Th

Looking, up, into the sky, Watching, the clouds, as they lie. Feeling, the wind, buffet my face, My mind, flies, to a familliar place. My worries, my cares, they fade away, I've asked, they scream, another day. The sun, shines bright, into my eyes, I wish, my love, was by my side. I'd take, her hand, look at her, And let, my heart, sail over, My jobs, my dutities, I don't care, As long, as we, are standing here. This feeling, I know, an old friend, Paying, a visit, once again. I lay, 'neath the sun, on my back, And remember, what it feels like, to relax.

Why do I feel like this today? Like my life has been a waste, Like I should throw it away. Crumple the pages that record each day. Pile them all together, And torch them all grey. Take the ashes to the deepest chasm. Toss in my history, Then throw myself down at them. I'd fall forever and never hit bottom. Serenity and solitude, With nothing else to bother. Wouldn't matter if I was awake or asleep. And with no afterlife, I'd watch no one weep. And when I was ready to face the world, I'd flick a switch And the hands of time would twirl. I'd be back where I started to see the day through, With my chin held high, No longer dr

Solitude takes me again. Smoke fills each orifice, And travels, To the brain, To awake, What makes me feel alive. Looking past the grit on this window Like looking through the black over my eyes.
