The venom of life

The venom of life

Who said to taste the venom of life?
Its poison's sneaking in the veins,
Taking six senses from the five,
Look how slowly it attacks the brains.
In several deceitful sweet delight,
Like sugar-cube it melts, if it rains.

Who said to taste the venom of life?
Its poison's dwelling in the artery,
Taking six senses from the five,
Look how it makes the heart flurry.
Encouraging to reach the height,
It feints to make you jump from it.

Who said to taste the venom of life?
Its poison's squelchin' in the flesh,
Taking six senses from the five,
Look how it rots the fibers into trash.
That lift a great burden one time,
Under a lightsome burden will crash.

Who said to taste the venom of life?
Its poison's running in the nerves,
Taking six senses from the five,
Look how many illusions it serves.
It's inspiring the purest rhyme,
Reserving always the darkest verse.

Who said to taste the venom of life?
Its poison's working in the bones,
Taking six senses from the five,
Look how it, kissing the earth, downs.
Amourously with the earthly life,
It gets buried by earth and stones.

Who said to taste the venom of life?
Its poison's smolderin' in the soul,
Taking six senses from the five,
Look how it burns the deadly coeur.
Seeking salver to the living fire,
It feels thirsty for liquid death liquor.
