We wish you were there
In drunken dreams, in love
In times of desperation
And aching gaps of existence
Former love, we say
But who are we kidding?
We long for you evermore
The present lies steeped in a past
It was so full of dreams of the future
One tires of love and friendship
One tires of all good intensions
One really does tire of good advice soon
I guess we shall never love again
I pass on the coin you gave
I trample, I tread, I slaughter
What goes around, goes around, around
And promises, they are meant to be broken
What can be worse than the complete agony of being in love? Yet what could possibly be a more enriching experience? Some of these entries arise out of the euphoria of first love and the rape of innocence; the rest reflect the musings of a more mature poet: one who is compelled to accept the absurdity of the transient world, but has the courage to romance it nevertheless. At times it is not even poetic... too brutal to be so. But therein lay the catharsis: purgation of life’s follies.

NERIUM
Save me from life
I shall give you love
And the sour Plumeria stalks of my breasts
The sweat-moistened softness of my breasts
The speckled-viper poison of my breasts
The cinnamon scented peaks of my breasts
With every bite and moan shall I receive heaven
And my blood will blossom in Neriums
Save me from life
I shall get you death
And a lance-stab pain in your breast
A pulverised heart in your breast
A wide open split in your breast
Maggot-infested holes in your breast
With every bite and moan you will embrace hell
And your blood shall blossom in Neriums
I shall give you love
And the sour Plumeria stalks of my breasts
The sweat-moistened softness of my breasts
The speckled-viper poison of my breasts
The cinnamon scented peaks of my breasts
With every bite and moan shall I receive heaven
And my blood will blossom in Neriums
Save me from life
I shall get you death
And a lance-stab pain in your breast
A pulverised heart in your breast
A wide open split in your breast
Maggot-infested holes in your breast
With every bite and moan you will embrace hell
And your blood shall blossom in Neriums
