Poison

a little too bitter,
not enough sweet.
sharp, but intoxicating;
electric

how curious

darling, would you like to be my
poison?

follow me

every moment a maelstrom
of painful, blissful
confusion

do cats eat bats? do bats eat cats?

take me high, higher;
darling, destroy me.

drink

a never-ending standstill
of disappearing
time

hurry, hurry, hurry, we'll be late

your inky black orbs
hide a mocking, fading laughter

a smile without a cat!

not enough are those wrists
crisscrossed with vivid
red

why not just paint them?

stare me down, love

off with her head!

blue fingertips grasping at evasive orange flames
while the rest of the world
rushes
away

all persons above a mile high...

impossibility was never your strong point, love

but it wasn't just a dream
