poison
DammitJanet it's starting to happen
i can feel it pounding inside
like a cancer taking over my body
and my mind
i have yet to know the trigger
though i've been waiting now for years
my only hope is it continues to grow
instead of rotting in my shadow

belly fire I take my poison in small doses,
and altogether different doses,
but they are killing me, all the same.
It feeds the part of me that is rotting; what will be left when life cannot be measured.
It tastes like raspberries a day too long on the vine - just a subtle bitterness.

stoic i have poison in my hand
and a cup in the other
i drink and it makes me feel better.
why do i still drink this poison?
i have a habit of killing myself.
many do.

numbing my every move
every thought
and the vision fades...

piercedjenny Hope is like poison to me.

I hold out hope and face each day.

And die a slow agonizing death when I realize if I don't have hope, I have nothing.

Cicero from nothing your shadows cast
all colors but mine, Love.
our footprints in the sand
are not so easily effaced
as the stone steps into movieland.
I drink you in the desert
and in the drenched canopies below,
flooded with a solitary Iris.
Heaven’s window into Lust
does not blink but tears instead
for a lost and lovely blindness.
