The corpses feed
The walking dead
They swallow preservation
That keeps the mold from the bread
Overworked organs overfill with poison
The heart pumps formaldehyde
Through pressured pipes
The extra pounds squeeze
The dead to the earth
But they keep walking
And talking
And working
Till they can no more
They call it life
But they never live
Stephen Norton Jan 2016
You may not understand my words

But you can read my eyes

What is lost in translation

Can always be seen in my smile

Your hand in mine

My heart rises high

And it's a simple thing to say

What other words could phrase

That I'm lost

I'm falling in love

And no language can separate
Stephen Norton Dec 2015
Dry
Passion is a well well fracked
Keep pumping
But the earth is dry
There's not enough for tears
Not enough for life
The clay is baked
The shape is set
Your attempts form cracks
But the expression remains
Look into my eyes
Pottery glazed
Underneath I pray for rain

Her crown reigns short
But stands out from among the trees
Her bark is soft
She is unmatched in beauty
When I drew near
Her flowers were clear
No shade of color worthy
Stephen Norton Dec 2015
You put a stopper in my heart
The love flows over
Nowhere for it to go
Leaks out when I'm sober
Stephen Norton Dec 2015
When you found me
At my weakest
My front, at its strongest
Palisades erected
And your questions deflected
Yet now I long to be one with your form
Your words rained down
Golden arrows of sun
They bit and pierced
The layers off the wall
Your smile exposed me
And now I long to be one with your form
I don't think you're a mind ****
But you penetrated my brain
My thoughts now consumed by you
My words can do little to explain
But I long to be one with your form
Wrapped tightly around one another
With my lips for comfort
Embracing the night
Rowing in unison
Squeeze me with your limbs
I'll go much deeper
When your pulse quickens
And the milk thickens
We'll give birth to nirvana
And be consumed with each other
Stephen Norton Dec 2015
She, with her plastic intention
Sweet smell, and rancid thought
Ran her finger from her lip
Her ******* tangle
Legs spaced at the knee
And her Her hair in a dangle
Penetrating eyes, that overcome my doubt
Perfect curves, image of fruit
Juicy and ripe, and ready to burst
Though sweet, it is sour
Though disturbing, so tempting
On hands and knees she crawls to me
Eyes never move
Heart cannot beat
Still locked, her hand now on me
I fall to the ground
And fall twenty feet
Her blanket around my brush
My hand in her touch
The red pair comes closer
They slip onto my face
I fall once more, into outer space
A wild vine grows rapidly around us
In the silence we scream
In our breath we roar
In my mind I forget
I release my reason
She is real
If not for another time
Just to exist right now
Stripped of my mind
Stripped to my body
Entangled in her roots, to rest the night
And to fuse, lose my sight
Make a river run down us
And never turn up soil
Get buried under it
And stay
In me, away
Her intention
Such devious intentions
Will I forget
Or fall down again
