grenade

he has a heart like a hand grenade

beware when he pops the pin

his eyes are alive with radiation

his gaze known to kill

tongue like a rapier

swift strikes deftly carving the air around him

but it his heart you have to be wary of

a perpetual dome of alienation surrounds him

he does nothing to shake it off

just casts his glare

spits venom

and threatens to pull the pin

he is a walking nightmare

a weapon made for murder

and he has a heart like a hand grenade

and a mind filled with images of her

  1. And when his heart explodes, there will be shrapnel imbedded in the flesh of all all who care, and some who don’t. Flesh sliced to ribbons. Blood and bits of bone everywhere. Don’t be alarmed if I lick the chunks off my skin just to ingest one last bit of him and make him forever a part of me. It’ll be, I’m sure, akin to dropping fourteen hits of acid just before smoking some PCP laced weed. At least then I’ll be able to visualize who she is.

  2. He presents a tough exterior
    But he’s ready to implode
    Like a hand grenade
    Wound tight and squeezed
    The words fall out of his mouth
    Like hot scorpion pincers
    Ready to poison and destroy
    He eyes me with wary disdain
    As if this is the pinnacle of battle
    And he’s daring me to come closer
    An ultimatum of life or death
    I can see through him, though
    He wants the pin pulled
    He wants to be thrown
    Only so that he can destroy himself
    A sacrifice for those around him
    The he wouldn’t be alone with this thoughts
    Of her
    Of me
    Of himself
