57. Lover in Agony

Like a rustic, rabid beast
He prowls the night for traces of crust
Left over in the tin garbage cans
Smothered in layers of slimy, thick dust

His eyes slice my heart much like
A fresh blade drilling deep into a man's face
Oozing blood dribbling onto the tiled floor
With a mind of their own, droplets all over the place

I am infatuated with this muscled creature
My diligent fear dissolves into joy
Like a pill of ecstasy in a mug of warm water
My mind goes high when around this boy

It is dismal that he is unable to see me
No matter how hard he would try
I am invisible, untouchable, an angel
He's a demon from the underworld and I'm from the sky

Who knew, that the rumours were true
Opposites can't attract, let alone co-exist
But those smooth, slick lips taunt my nerves
Tongue covered in ashes so tough to resist

I watch him from above my cloud
He can be seen in the deepest pit of hell
Oh loathsome, irresistible devil,
How daringly I wish to rebel

But I know that if I stride a few feet from heaven
Closer to the distasteful fires of rage
My halo will fragment into a million miniscule diamonds
Like salt splattered across an empty page

So I wait here for you, demon
I lust for you from the morn till moonlight
Your piercing black teeth do not frighten me
I am blind; you're my only delight

Happiness is Pink Jellybeans

Happiness is jumping in a pool of pink jellybeans Feeling the cool candy on my skin Happiness is enjoying the pleasures of life Without worrying about confessing my sins Whoever said that we are gluttons For biting juicy pears on the beach Must never have felt the sand in their toes They must have placed their own soul out of reach And what about greed? It's not all that bad To bury a pile of chestnuts for the spring All animals do it, so why shouldn't we? If it's greedy to love yourself, let it be Lust is the one that makes pastors blush Yet it's one of the greatest joys in the body A kiss and a dance, laughter and romance Why did we ever label this happiness as naughty? Have you ever seen a cat sad when it naps? It is okay to sometimes be lazy The body needs rest as does the mind Or the world will set fire from the crazy If happiness is a sin, then let me smile in hell Looking up at the do-gooders above For to live is to err, to cry, and to sing Happiness is pink jell...

Lost in Rio

Jesus looks over The lost souls and bones below In the jungle sun To witness such beauty And such devastation God painted with one brushstroke Merry men sing Holes in their shoes The dark night lit up By police sirens And the crescent moon Bats flail around Like me, lost in the jungle Eyes glaring all around I hope they're monkeys Or jaguars I hope I can keep a piece of This country with me Safe in my pocket It smells like tropical rain And feels like The clam shells Washed up on the shore It tastes like fried bananas And heavily salted steak Sounds like seabirds cawing Samba on the streets And looks like a page From a storybook About parrots and palm trees Of finding a golden treasure A magnificent, uneasy place When she sun goes down So do we Leaving the night  To the creepy crawlers And innocent stray cats

I See the Fire

Every time I close my eyes, I see the fire That aches where you burned me last I am a woman of the earth and the cool soil Where life ferments and earthworms roam I can't survive the lava that pulses beneath The crust of this beautiful land Yellow dandelions piercing the grass Emerald pockmarked with gold I wish sometimes that I wasn't a woman of the earth I wish that I were stronger I wish that my bones were made of steel And my heart of flame So that I wouldn't fall apart at every Crude remark, every Light tug, every Covert attack That rolls off the back of a fire-woman Instead, my skin is transluscent  Like the morning dew  My muscles pieced together With tree sap and mushrooms What's an earth-woman to do In a world engulfed by fire? But root herself firmly to one place Grow a network of twisting underground limbs And create a stable home To escape the chaos of this world
