An ode to one of my favourite books.
Talking flowers and tables set for tea. A garden of white roses painted red. Theres a billow of smoke hiding mushrooms of plenty coming from a well feed cataipiler. A grin without a cat and a hatter without a hat and a rabbit that is never on time. Theres a house in the distance thats home to a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve but is actually quite mean and girl that feels quite lost in it all.
It's a world full of nonsense, curisoty and where the impossible can take place. A world I wish to visit one day.
Your Poetry Is Poison
Your poetry is poison
Your poison is poetry
It is intended to kill
It is designed to revive
I am at loss of words
Yet I find them all
When I am intoxicated by it
I feel I’m dying while alive
You say how come poetry is poison
If poison is something bad?
I’d say poetry is poison as venomous as love
For love is something to die for
Yet love is toxic cliche
But what else can Men say
If there is only passion behind every
Spasm of lust, spasms as those of venom
Preparing your body to die.
Your poetry is venom
Paralyzing my heart
Giving me asphyxiation
That I cannot stand
You are life
You are death
A black rose in Winter
White Ashes in Spring
You burning ice!
You soothing fire!
Tell me what was my mistake!
Tell me what I did right!
You never speak
For the fumes inside your mouth
Kill
They kill with poisoned darts
Die! Live! Suffer! Enjoy!
I do not know if my mistake
Was to kiss your Poetry book
Or was it right to read it?
I just remember I died the day I kissed you
And now I live infected with your poison
Dying every instant.

they say that home is where the heart is, but what if heart is just a figment of the imagination of the needy, and what if love is inexistent and inconsequential?
they say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but what if the soul is just a made-up term that allows people to justify chemical imbalances called "feelings," and eyes are simply clusters of cells that mean nothing more than blue or brown or green or hazel?
they say that it's what's underneath the surface that counts, that judging a book by its over is inconsiderate, but what if underneath the layer of skin there are just more layers, and beneath those, just organs and veins and vessels?
