Quotes about venom, page 8
Cultured?
Well yes, she's very cultured, in her own way,
engaging each piano key off tune.
Enlivening the party, into boredom.
Encased, in hooded venom, in the room.
Enforcing her bright presence into culture.
A winning combination - for a vulture.

Love Bug
This mite bites a time or two
Leaves not a single scratch
Nor reason or a single clue
When found a perfect match
No known cure
For a bite so deep
Love is pure
Laugh don't weep
Venom is strong
Of this be sure
Nothings wrong
Best be demure
Once bitten,
Forever smitten

Snake Skin
I shed my past hurts away
Like a snake
Shedding its old skin
To relish the new shiny skin
I sloughed off some double-tongued associates
Those with slithering words of abuse
which slips in tongue without constraints
their venom more deadly than that of a poisonous snake

Etched in Deep Sorrow
Why are those who are baited to strike,
With the biting of venom
Eventually find they've become victims,
Of a misunderstanding they can't
From their minds ever erase?
Or replace with repeated apologies.
And the looks on their faces are etched,
In deep sorrow as if in permanent positions.

Short Torture
Open him up, where he lay,
Dissecting his brain is to say;
The torture is incomplete,
My tests are never to beat.
Open up the sweet air
With a little venom to dare;
Let the years go by with precision
On the understanding of a declaration.
Proclaim peace as much as can be
To satisfy me.

Behind Our Facades...!
As many individuals
So many religions!
So many worlds
As many minds!
One versus another
Relentless clashes!
With great care
Lighted oven of jealousy!
Very unitedly cooked
Dish of disunity!
Selfishness alone
Our private property!
Rooted out as venom
Our Universal Love!

The Cross and the Switchblade
Dark is the day that performs such deeds
Dark is the night that follows
Cheap are the words in the enemy's mouth
Cheap is the venom he swallows
Death stands strong when life falls weak
Death in the heart of his town
Strength in the wrestle of the enemy's fight
Strength when he's falling down

Aliens In Spirit
I am passing through the Valley of Tears but,
Smooth as butter are the words of your mouth;
And your beauty shall be consumed in the grave one day.
Aliens in spirit,
And like a snail melting in the sun without love;
But be exalted to what you have because,
Your traps are like the venom of serpents in the bush.

Uncontested
If I did not...
Who would?
Should I depend upon others,
In my neighborhood?
And if this was addressed...
Would a spreading of an understanding,
Bring to all of us a peace,
Uncontested we could accept?
Or should I just neglect like them?
Mind my own business...
As I sit with venom,
Until that is expressed!

Monster
what's the feeling that most eating me inside?
is it boredom or loneliness
or do they make symbiosis to form dark shadows
slowly
my heart's ripped skin by skin
cold, strong, and ruthless
venom spreads in my veins
slowly
I can't even recognize myself
thunder and storm
the monster has came out from my chest
