The Stinging Bite

by Sam M. Phillips

I’m going to rip you apart

As I get my start,

Straight to the heart

I strike with my dart,

I am absolved,

All problems solved

In glorious murder,

No absurder notion,

You are my potion,

Lotion to soothe,

Everything to prove,

I remove

You from my path

With aggressive wrath,

Knowing how to dance,

How to take my chance

With knife in hand,

Life of the land

Flows with the sand

Through the hourglass,

Bask in glory,

Repeated story,

Gory and human,

The monsters consume them,

Subsume them,

And depend upon their flesh

To mesh together pieces,

The anarchy never ceases,

Peace is short lived

And so sterile,

Infantile hope

As rope

Guides around neck,

I want to wreck

And ravage

Your savage ideals,

None of this feels real,

I cannot deal

With all this violence,

But the silence

Is even worse,

We move towards the source

Of the flood

Of virgin blood,

Trudging through the mud,

Smudging what we should

Try and keep pristine,

I have a dream,

It is to make you scream

My name is passion,

Everything too tame, I smash them,

Cash them in,

Seek to win

All and lose all,

I rise and fall

Upon your form,

I like the storm

You stir inside me,

Slide me into an abyss,

I miss your touch,

But it is too much,

Such a beauty to adore,

I always want more,

I am raw

And always elemental,

My hormones detrimental

As the whore moans sentimental,

All of this mental,

But also reality,

I slide through the city,

No one has pity

For me despite

The stinging bite

I feel

Is real

For them too,

I know you

Understand what I say,

It happens every day,

Yet we move away

From such desire,

We don’t want to set fire

To our own dwelling,

But the swelling

In my member won’t go,

As if you don’t know

This agony as well,

I am brave enough to tell

Of things from which you hide,

And hope that they will subside.
