DARKNESS

have you ever loved

a very dark night

with the deepest passion

of a very naked heart?

he takes you inside

a sensuous stomach

and covers you thick

with a fragile blanket.

you cuddle so warmly;

get fondled so hotly;

you throw away your face

and discard off your name

to burn the fiery fire

so sweet of a beloved pain.

you never know!

oh! you never know!

a trusted much intestine

is an ugly public carcass

that shines your naked sun

a daylight of sordid fun.

the world clashes tongues.

the world clashes thoughts.

and you become a sad night

wailing a muddied star;

wailing a beloved shine

now a twinkle of dirty light.

you do not know.

oh! you do not know.

a passionate blanket

is a judas of a love beat

that cooks a disgrace hit

of your 'banging'

"love me, love me, love me."

darkness is a beast

to wear 'my darling' words

and become 'koroba koroba'

feet, eyes of searching scorns.

darkness is a monster

as fucking 'somebody's son'

who is a painful blue screen

hottest as a diva's porn.

oh! darkness!

tender, passionate blanket.

beloved so much sadness.

'open yansh' of nonsense.

but you do not dine with two horns

and not eat a full plate of gores.

you do not cry the peppery sores

that is your big stomach of disgust.

earth has no belly.

never sleep your deep scar

inside a very deep, black

iscariot of a secret.
