[ ? ] Death by Poetry
Copyright © 2003 by Terell Richardson.
? Azure

Silken skies of azure
O'erlapping a dew encased atmosphere
Citrus scent of wet grass
My lips entangled in yours
Fingers tingling

...thin air
...still breeze
...exposure
Pretty flesh, tender spirit
Ignore it all

Enthralled
In you


? All the Same Now

It's his smile
So perfect
A smile I need pressed against my cheek
At sunrise
Curvy lips that I need between and above my own

Repent

It's all the same now
You tell me love has no meaning
Unless it's found on emaciated sheets held prisoner between two slabs of cowhide
Long live King James
He who knew
It's all the same now

And I will be happy with a rougher hand
And facial hair
However sparse or untamed it may be

I will find love
Somehow
Someone
Amongst my own


? Mecca

Hide myself in a mecca of me
You I do not hear
You I do not see
When I hide myself in a mecca of me
In a mecca of me
In a mecca of me

In the corner of an alley
Of a mecca me
Everyone locked out
Locked in, what do you see?

A little scared boy
In a metropolis of himself
Alone

and yet


afraid


? Poecide

I am bleeding from your poecide
Red paint on the wall
Wailing from your poecide
You stab me and I fall

I am burning from the words you spew
Wish I could be a poet too
To let you know just how it feels
To die

I am bleeding from your poecide
Red paint on the wall
Addicted to your poecide
You stab me when I call

Never heard a word so pure
That I'd not recognized before
Never felt so known and used
Seduced

I am bleeding from your poecide
Red paint on the wall
Vengeful from your poecide
Your bold insistent poecide
Your molesting and possessing
Left submissive and confessing
To the lethal affectations
Of your poecide


? Repeat

Warmth
Radiating from the appliance by the wall
In my bed
Cool breeze upon the window sill
I'm not here

Repeat

You breathe
And then you take away
What was there when I'd arrived
What you used to lure me in
What I used just to survive

Repeat

It is so easy to no
Not so easy to say yes
To the people who don't need you
To the people in distress

Like me

Repeat

Like me

Repeat

Fade


? Wasted On the Moment

All my beauty wasted on the moment
Body fluids sprawled across the streets
Decaying flesh
A lust-begotten rodent
Lost between a sinner and a priest

Bleed in...bleed out...bleed in...bleed...

Pushed into a world of moaning corpses
With carved out graves in walls that have a face
And, oblivious upon your horses
Pace the grounds of Hell and yet I taste
The fire

Bleed in...bleed out...bleed in...bleed...

Throbbing pouch of life is left to drink
Of celibacy's blessings and its woes
Nearer to the Everlasting Being
Nearer to each man's eternal foe

Bleed in...bleed out...bleed in...bleed...


? Possession

Possess me
This feeling
Approach me
These hands
I drown
Again
Again
