POISONOUS CANDY

This is a poem I wrote last summer.

It's a very personal one, so I am a little nervous, especially since I have never shared my poetry with my readers.

Hope it can help you escape from the rainy weather east coasters

You say I’m your drug
Breathless beauty, ready at the close.
Remember how the snow formed perfect lines on my dashboard?

My drug
Magnets; two polar opposites electrified when close enough.
For we are once in a blue moon
and I’m your blue moon girl.

Was it because?
Because Nancy was dirty for Billy in the dressing room?

You are my drug
Hands groping
Reaching
Until rivers flow in ecstasy.
Words endlessly flow in musicality and rhythm.
Peering into my soul
It sparks out you

You
My drug
My never ending pleasure through deaths, drugs, discomforted delusions.
Cushions of comfort
Stretch marks and pudge
Tiny as a tea cup
I sing ‘Happy Birthday’ in your ear.
I let the smoke consume me and I feel

Free
Safe
In the fantasy that the ayo colors
And I laugh
Because in that moment the lights ignite.

You plead for me
And it will not last
Can not last
I’m letting go, watching truth extinguish the fire.
I wear the scarlet letter now
Ashamed and Exhilarated.

Drugs
Stop tormenting me
HP screeching
Digging our initials until they are bold
Bold.
Blunt.
Screaming from your infested pigsty,
Wisp of my hair reek where your lips parted.
I let you trample all over me, my darling.
One kiss is worth a thousand cuts.

Heart twitching
Eyes dazed
Pulse thumping
Veins Red
We lie inside each other,
Unable to escape the dark beauty we have created.
