I am sick
twisted out of my scull
I dream visons perverse
mother's hands
hide child's mind
from my words
as they seap into mind
burning
impression infinate
like first playboy I read
at twelve
miss january
never to forget

I want your mind
I  want to peel off your skin
to see if you really have a heart
underneath the pretense
I want my words to ring
painful orgasmic
at each newscast
pta meeting

I want your innoscent
not yet spoiled
virgin pink brains
still open to thoughts
seducing little minds through poetry
filling the with cummings
Keats and Elliot
til they scream in orgasmic delight
I am sure they will find
me
lock me up
for poetic indecency
teaching of a minor

I want you young and pink
I want you old decreped
I want your mind empty hollow
open your mind just a peak
and maybee one day you will
find me
and have two
or maybee one

original

thought.

If there are poetry police, they will be after you for sure!  This was really a brilliant, original poem.

"I want your mind
I want to peel off your skin"

OUCH! sorry Brad, it's mine and I'm keepin it, it's served me well so far.  
But this write reminded me of an incident in college. I had a 'close-minded professor' who suggested I was 'too open-minded' (ie liberal politically) for my own good.

I'll quote him:
'Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.'  I laughed then, and am still laughing at that imagery. So far, all my scans show this brain is doing A-OK.

Hi Dan!!!

The lines above, although, very raw, I loved the thinking behind them...

Give me someone who hasn't had their thoughts molded by society or environment...let them read the old favorites...ahhh yes!  Great job!

I read this three times and all I can say is that it's very original and the rise and fall through harsh creativity is excellent!
