Passion
love;

foolish emotions.
...

Your aqua-encrusted diamond eyes
ignite the child-like thrill
of standing close to the edge
peeking down the abyss
...

in god's nightmare
we're all peaceful,
happy, loving
but worship ourselves
...

pardon me
poetic theatrics aren't my style
but your lack of perception
makes me smile
...

Your language
makes my neurons glow.

Cut off my scalp
...

You are
words never spoken
truths always held close to the mouth
...

I passed a mirror
not long ago
it did not rouse the feelings
I had hope to bestow
...

love without loss
are days without rain
fear without pain
jesus without cross
...

still tasting nicotine
(nothing like the stench
of addiction on the breath)
-nature's aphrodisiac
...
