Thick Skin

Ingratiate, ingratiate,

‘Cause when you’re in, you’re in.

Don’t listen for the truth of it

‘Cause truth just don’t begin,

To tell it like it really is;

And who the hell are you?

To push apart those in the art,

Whose place you so aspire to.

Ingratiate, and irritate, 

Just who the hell are you??

Desire in blood

She smiled at me
Through the candyfloss flavoured air,
And shaped a word
I could not understand.

I backed away,
Melting under her gaze,
Afraid to look away,
Afraid she might touch me,
Afraid of myself.

But
Quaking in my skin,
My own flesh betrayed me
Singing out a siren song
Of scent and heat.
Her nostils flared.
She knew it.
My weakness, my wanting.

That was then.

Shards of my sanity still remain,
Stabbing between her teeth and my skin.
My blood,
Such a small thing to give.

I drift, eyes closed.
Her hands on my skin,
All I can feel,
All I can feel,
All I can feel,
All I can.....



Feel.

Succubus returns

Come tip toe through my petalled mind

And show me how you'll please,

I'll raise a thought that seeds a storm

And brings a planet to its knees

Now dream your dreamscape, write it large,

And drive the lights away,

Undo the stays that hold the world

And bring my succubus to play

Your strength I take though lips and lust

Your cries all petered out,

Now all you are is mine to hold

Your soul, a dying shout.

You tiptoed through my seeping mind

And that was your mistake,

For all your love was mine to steal

And what I want, I take

Mother

Mother

Heat dried ruby rolling, falling, sweating slide down cheeks of satin.

Staining.

Emeralds shimmer tears of ruby. Down, down. Cover the glistening with sheets of maybe.

Smile beloved. Smile for acing, drowning ruby will cover all in shades of winter.

Madness.

Forget spring dawning, maid of sorrow. Made of sorrows. Ruby traps you, sears you, blinds you. All your agonies are ruby. Memories do not deceive you. True, too true to see the ruby, waiting, hiding in your shadows. True to life, loves life, gives love, takes life, only shades of darkest ruby, shining through your childhood cherry. Then your smile was full of maybe, promise making more tomorrows. Shielding rubies dawn of sorrows. Long days, last nights, end cherry sharp bite.

Innocence.

Taken, torn. No more childhood shields to mend you. Bend you, break you ruby takes you, sharp as daylight through your shutters.

Emerald eyes we love you…

Watched you, cursed you, loved you, sought you. Caught you in the winters snow fall. Took you from your Monday, Tuesday, mornings, evenings, real time playthings. All your nothings making angels red as ruby, softly, cruelly.

Poor pretty. Never cried. Lost within the chatter chitter child like Alice.

Help me, hold me!

Don’t struggle angel, fight us, hate us, never dreamt of true friends like us.

Wake angel.

Ruby wakes us, shakes us, makes us hold you; take you, warm as summer, cold as twilight.

Scream our angel.

Peel your sunshine, glisten slowly, toad my daydream.

We never sought to hurt you.

Emerald ruby, drawn in our time, your time, her time. There shows ruby. Touch you with her gentle cruelty. Shows you, sees you, makes you nowhere. Touch us with the softest nightmare.

Emerald, when you fought the red it gave us forward to tomorrow. Showed us promises of other smother us in….mother you found us!

Ruby saved us; Emerald gave us, solace from your antique heartache. We see you, saw you, loved you, fought you.

Farewell mother, ruby lover.

Emerald we need you.

Don't waste it, want it

Desire.

Oh, it's a fascinating state.

It can happen to any of us, at any time,

Focus in on any subject,

Cause staggering amounts of dread despair or deep, deep joy.

But how can mere chemical interaction breed super massive want/attraction?

Making nonesense out of sense;

Obsessive fascination beyond explanation.

What's it for?

Evolution, smeevolution.

Somewhere between the snake and the apple...desire happened.
So its a perk of being a human being.
Wanting, aspiring, desiring.
It's not weakness, it's experience.
It gives us more that it takes from us.

So why not;

Give in to it I mean.

Don't fight it, embrace it!

(unless it involves corpses or some such.

I'm pretty sure that's not desire,

that's a whole other word!)

Life's a blast, but it doesn't last.

Take it, squeeze it, feel it.

Don't waste it, want it!!
