Analysis of Body – Mind Duality
I have a scream, placed in a pillow, I
carry it to you. I have a box filled
with energy, I blast it into your
ribcage. I have lungs as bleeding tar, sweet
tremendous collapsing. I never had
a body in ways I had you, it frets
me to breathe – as without you so many
pigeons, each holds a love-letter. to die
humiliation, friends feeling
disgusted, I beg to right your wrongs.
can’t ignore interior, we try,
rain into drains the fount is deceptive.
to design passion, to listen to love
songs, begging to feel that feeling. so
taboo to love you, so high in acclaim, so
misspoken – by a cave in its ache, so dear
to me. I lose control in one clear
vision, hands all over you. hardwood
ideographs, never such nectar with
anguish breeding – by a foolish man by a
grueling sin, the tides are drenching, another
phallic devastation. by phobia
wrath-house, at cages, so soft, so diligent,
too careful to absorb.
it seems causeless. love is addiction. I
would have a problem. is pain but love,
ultimate rage? so rechanneled, wattage,
feuding over fidelity. at first
glance, it would become insatiable, a
gift to have such a diamond. thoughts bleeding,
bombs blasting, so cavalier in public
– to never realize, rough patches as
plaguing Egypt.
