I see the sun and its beautiful today
Ever so powerful as it is
The rays beat down my brains
In a spot of much too much contact with the light

And I take a sip of the standing water
Mosquitos haven't crowded over at the moment
They saw me coming and stepped aside
Out of unordinary respect
Possibly saving me for a later meal

Since they allowed me to drink my goal is to kill
Each and everyone of them to be free of this
Free vengence I'll be expecting

My work here is complete and now leaves a bloody mess
Thats fine though
Todays showers haven't yet arrived

The day has gone by somewhat slow and
Somewhat fast
And the sky has finally developed a prize pig of darkness
I find a simple "shelter" and stand under while
Baseball size droplets fall around me

In this weather I could almost swear
I've been caught up in a battle field
Machine guns popping everywhere
My shelter starts to crack
Water starts to splash and drip
The temperature has dropped to 40 or 30
And I've no where else to go

Treason of comfort builds up inside
My haven is falling apart
And I have no where else to go

I'm getting soaked
Then the snakes come out
They are everywhere
I turn to run and there is no where

One snake bites me
And I can feel his poison
Warm and sharp
Such comfort with fear

My eyes become affected
I fall down

Where are his hands
Grab my leg and squeeze this poison out
Consciousness escapes me
And the entire world is numb to my feelings


I come to
The sun is back
I'm outside in an alley
Breathing
Feeling a fire

I'm alive,
No shelter,
Immune to snakes,
Washed clean

Indestructible in my impoverish way of life
In this hand destructive to pornography
My holy one holds me in saftey

God blesses.

& He approaches you with sword of steel rage
in hand
& it scares the living she-ite out of you,
until you realize he is only cutting deep enough
to suck the poison out of you
and save your worth-saving life.

You write deep, dark thoughts of someone struggling
To inevitably come out on top of it all.
You will!

ooo nice. this poem is one of those that you read and you get the words..... but then you read it a second time and you get the emotion and all thats lurking beneath the surface.

dark and confusing, but in a good way.

awesome

love and empathy
