The Lust BugA Poem by Mark Anthony Santa CruzI once awoke in a fright, Sedating the unwanted grief, And surely felt a bite Of some insect like thief. I scratched and I pulled Until the itch was no more, But cursed and fussed Till the clock struck four! I whined and I whined, But my whining could not stop the itch, So I scratched and scratched Until I saw the insect crawl into a stitch. I was amused at first But now had grown tiredly faint, And thought the bug was of thirst, Hunting for a colored like paint. I saw it once more and felt a horrible pain, Surge from one end of my arm till it reached my heart, It throbbed and it throbbed till I was insane, And felt the winds blow and strip my body apart. The creature trickled in excitement As I was pushed into a mind of ecstasy And virally was taken into a predicament, Of a twisted like fantasy. When I awoke, I awoke again in fright And saw the bug’s little teeth marks, Embedded within my skin to its height, And thought how strange the embark Of this strange feeling I felt, Stranger it was when I felt myself melt.
