facsimile: odium for fainéant

By slow.burn.star

Horrific h ea rt
angelic absence

cold thighs
r e d lips

hyperventilating under plastic
convulsing as
dark eyes bulge
nails scratch at tile
as you o p e n me up.

precious memory

consuming

beneath dark waters

I dwell upon your knife. desperate.
necrosis. hemorrhaging under the surface.
you spill your warm hate upon my breast.
breeding concupiscence.
frigid and blue.
veins
surface.
{
turgid
engorged
stabbing into the deepest places
blood sprinkled over
milky flesh, the color of magnolias.
dilate. disgorge.
pupils pulse under
cornea catacombs.

like a honey bee to the
red nectar
of a
broken flower
twisted and wrecked
my petals
unfold


consuming

beneath dark waters


foaming white at the corners. comatose.
I give you nothing.

capillaries tingle with an old echo.
insurmountable
it bleeds so easily
succubus
into your purity.
feeding from the wound.
fracturing my otiose heart
prom. ace.
make it perfect this time.

volatile visages
rotting bones polluting.
Infecting the core. corrupting the soul.
contaminated. sea water leaking into the cracks.
my hair lay upon my face. luminary.
wet & black.

consuming

beneath dark waters


lll kisses linger on a morbid mouth
acrid beauty decay my reverie
the susurration from my lips
vacant
an exquisite patina
alight in the gloaming

slaughter of the dove

take me gently always
redeemer
pressing your thumbs into my throat
to feel the beating wane

stars observing the delicate remorse

consuming

beneath dark waters


veneration for an absent shadow
I drink from your hollow hole

the one I didn’t fit.
& smile as
I cut the pieces.

    This was fantastic....the lines " consuming beneath dark waters " fills my mind, it felt like loving someone, or wanting something under lethal waters.

  • A former member wrote: yup, I can only echo what others have said -it's just my opinion but this is beyond sublime -it moved me and intrigued me on so many levels. Too many lines to quote and i ahve nos uperlatives to do it justice so I will just say...wow!

  • A former member wrote: "capillaries tingle with an old echo./ veneration for an absent shadow I drink from your hollow hole" Darkly sexual, thrillfull, wanton, volatile... a nice lil pleasure fountain of words to stab "into the deepest places". This poem is a vampire,...

    Wicked. "Foaming white at the corners. Comatose. I give you nothing." Red and black and white and deep. Like oil filming at the top of a pot-hole in the rain. Write on.

    You're still so far above me in so many ways. I'll comment better when I comprehend better. For now, this will have to do. Love it.
