New York Enchantment
you stand before me
like the empire state building
a foundation of intellect
the incense of your breath
forces me to meditate
on the raw and brutal passion
punishing me
this is my penance for actions untaken
idolatry makes me a cannibal
i wish to feast on your essence
you are my Judas
and I will enter the city of Dis
with a lurking spiteful revenge.
my circus days are over
performing tricks on the high-wire
and waiting for the applause that never comes.
that I could weep
solid gold tears to
save humanity. but then
again, how can the material
save the soul? this world,
a struggling ball of self-
destruction.
salvation are the dreams of the fearful.
power are the dreams of the inadequate.
musical are the dreams of the self-respecting.
so let me write of my dreams,
of words powerful enough to
justify my existence, of
a love sprouting from the seeds
of truth, and branches reaching
such lofty heights, to be
starved for air, in an
ecstacy capable only in the mind.
Personification of Desire by dreadpirateryan, literature
Literature
Personification of Desire
and now the fangs are revealed
the desires grow muscle, and ego.
they will hold on to their
illusions, no matter the cost.
kingdoms can fall, bonds destroyed,
I care not.
And I am scared.
I will lose everything.
i do not desire you.
i desire chocolate.
i desire understanding
i desire reason and logic
among my fellow men.
my desires are things
I can do without.
science tells me you are flesh and bone
but to me you more resemble
the very white blood cells that protect me,
the corpuscles that bring oxygen to my body,
the electrical signals that tell my brain
there is a reason to continue breathing.
i can do without desires,
but i could not finish this sentence without you.
i now understand
the vampires obsession
thick and salty, you are
my vermillion ocean
a bloody whore, you only
bring pleasure.
dabbing my lips, I kiss your neck,
because with you,
life tastes so much better.
Wife in Sheeps Clothing by dreadpirateryan, literature
Literature
Wife in Sheeps Clothing
a wife in sheeps clothing
soft to touch, soft to taste
desire's passion eating me
finely chopped, like a blazon
listen to the soothing music of the internal organs
satisfying to the body, making ravenous the mind
scream into the night wind
that avails itself so fully
to my naked torment, my
ever-pleasing Goddess of whispers
speak, oh soverign nation
boundaries drawn, my army awaits
invasion of your territory, i will overtake
grind teeth with a fiery rain of ideals
there was once a time
i did not care so much.
Force of Imagination by dreadpirateryan, literature
Literature
Force of Imagination
i imagine
two bodies, colliding with such force
a release of energy so profound
sublime happiness, words cannot describe
light and shadows overpowered by their glory
chaos and order at the mercy of their power
past and future have been lost in this existence
i will redefine love for the future lovers
they will understand it as God.
fastforward this date to its finale
let me end the expectation
a kiss brings me grand visions of a future
and an end of ancient misery
rejection leaves its tail stuck in my skin as a reminder
i will gather you in my arms like a mighty wind
and float in your sea
and fly in your sky
those who call me hopeless do not understand the depths of my hope
may this night endure like the crash of the waves
and the soft sound of your voice in my head.
