Just an aftertaste....................

You stopped me at the first hello, an

 

older and charming handsome fellow

 

we quickly went from friends to lovers

 

I began to slaver for something more

 

I wanted to extinguish you, tasting

 

your salty skin, igniting a craving within

 

I need more to satisfy this palate, your

 

smell of blood sweet like punch, so I

 

pursue my first innocent lick and bite

 

only to get you stuck between my teeth

 

breaking fingers and splintering bones

 

I try to savor your affection in my mouth, but

 

what was once a confection has turned bitter

 

instead I had to swallow you down whole

 

bloated now from the weight of your soul.

Well slap my a*s call me Charlie and tell me to see Wonka bars. The start gave me the impression the end would not be as harsh. But I loved it, the entire flow could have been someone's thoughts when lying in bed and having the ever important moment of clarity.

Ah that was a great work .Men we are definitely the weaker sex lol

one could grasp this as two view points of different relationships...though it does have that emotional tie of the enveloping and overpowering emotion that relations can become...nice

[Chris]

...many views... comments...

liking - to owning - to obsessing - a touch of jealousy - the feel of chains and locked doors, forever being kept away from anything-one else...

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Its amazing how I read your work and the imagery is so vivid that I almost feel violated. You have such a powerful way of imposing your will through your words.
This was a thrill! I loved it.

Love the word choice you used, excellent read!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Bitter as wine to the unpractised palate, well done

[Clay Feet]

After five or six readings I continue to find more depth in this piece, savored sweetness transformed to a sour swallow.

Excellent imagery, Muse.

[Dexter Killian]

This imagery is brilliant, the beauty of this is such a mouth full of seduction and longing.
