Pain

by sidcorvid

Gasping for my next breath,
Grunting with the thrust of the needle,
I become slightly more of a man.

Panic, a fear of the imminent moment,
Had subsided, disappeared under searing pain.

My body rigid and teeth embedded in my lip,
The pain does not seem to end.
On retrospection, I did not realize
How long two seconds could last.

Taking it slow now, numbing instead of stabbing,
I recognize that the worst was over.
I fucking made it, euphoria increasing with inhalations.
Now to try this shit out.

Dear John

Dear John

Dear John,
I’ve seen the rain,
Too much, perhaps.

At first, it calms,
But I miss the stars.
Nothing worse than a black sky.

On those nights I think.
I write, I paint.
But I don’t sleep.

Eventually the black turns grey,
As my part of earth
Turns towards the sun once again.

That’s when I go out
For my morning cigarette,
And see the worms haven’t slept either.

I rarely give them thought.
Dodging them on the asphalt,
Keeping my bare feet clean.

They saw the rain,
And lost everything,
And I give them no thought.

Oh, John.
Have you seen the rain?
Grass turned to mud?

I think you have,
But you watch the fresh grass grow.
You look at the clearing and the humid sun.

You light your cigarette,
And dodge the worms,
Giving them no thought.

You smile at the new day,
While I’m stuck in the storm.
I envy you.

Just got a copy of the 10th anniversary edition of Myst

Not that that has any real influence on this post. However, I do look forward to playing it, seeing what all the hype was about

My Kevlar sweetheart,
My violent angel,
Let us go together,
And fuck peace.

Take my hand and watch as I do,
See the fear my name invokes,
The shaking heads,
My bloody hands.

Let us go together
Into the void of inhumanity,
Embrace your base drives,
And tear a fool’s throat open.

We say no to sacrificial guilt.
My love,
Let us walk the juxtaposition,
We’ll live as they die.

Your hands are trembling, dear.
Do not let them see your fear.
The weak feed off the excess of the strong,
Starve them with your bravery.

I’ll be here to the end.
I’ll support your stride,
And stem your blood loss.
So what if tomorrow never comes?

I have you now.

As promised

As promised

Smoke drifts in ribbons
from between my fingertips.
I stare in silence at the orchestra
For my eyes.
For me.
I dwell on thoughts of romance,
You dwell on the payment for my love.
My heart lurches across my chest
As I watch the acrobatic theatrics.
I long to know the spider-monkey.
She has a life,
A history,
A story.
These fools see her as meat.
I see her as more.
