bloodshot sunken eyes
glare all a glitter
into my utterly clear very own
as off the well beaten path
by their obvious distorted anger
I am quite thoroughly thrown
rage
embittered spawn of that dreadful
stupor suspicion
the brawling ring master
for all hard core drinkers
whether petty or royal
this is hatred unadorned
one hundred proof without a doubt
meant most personally
and unhinged in its final display
witnessed up close
fuel for the mental unleashing
in such terror laced moment
behind the tallest shadows
of fearful shyness
one will never for long locate me
which all that's been delivered
to date
hinges on the start but intimidating
knowledge
that I was indeed most wise to be
deeply afraid of you
as stalkers for the most part make
truly lousy lovers
for they soil the very grounds of even
the most serious mental illness...........
