Oh sweet infestation tasting in the

gestation that we are quenching 

our taste buds to as we are 

dehydrated of what our life is in 

this beautiful plane.

Oh delicious contagion craved in the 

eyes of our voracity we are famished

that we must touch it but silverware

is a must so we could eat it ever 

so peacefully in front of everyone.

Oh decadence contraction wafted in the

scent of putrescence because what smells

best in the air is the disease that we are

carrying for ever so delightfully it is a reminder

that our scars are real and so as our bruises.

Oh bittersweet remedies soothe our soul, and 

heal a heart that is broken in me because I feel

the pain to be softened by each blow taken. 

It is a scorched pain, a scalded entity and 

an incinerated catastrophe. 

This is where my heart begins to crumble,

This is where my mind begins to go unstable,

and 

This is where my body begins to crack.

The remedy is what I no longer hold valuable but of

just a treasured Cheshire smile. 

So I smile once more, fragile entwined 

and delicately destroyed.

My pestilence,

My virulence,

and 

My indulgence.

This is where my heart begins to crumble,
This is where my mind begins to go unstable,
and
This is where my body begins to crack.

The remedy is what I no longer hold valuable but of
just a treasured Cheshire smile.

"Yet another good work of yours.... the above lines have something really captivating in them .... "

My pestilence,
My virulence,
and
My indulgence.

liked the 3 words banging on ... :D

I love your tenacious use of words. The sense of disintegration is epitomized very well

It is a broken man's soul that's what I am trying to capture here especially with that Cheshire smile. It makes me think of it when I look at it and smile on it. Thank you on that :)

Thank you, thank you! :) Tenacious is a beautiful word and so as disintegration! :) Thank you very much.

A great, descriptive poem. My fav stanzas are definitely the third and fourth - I love your strong use of words. The sense of disintegration and confusion at the end is mirrored very well with the actual layout down the page, I thought. :)

Well thank you very much mam :) Alas they are the rambles of a broken person's mind. It is disintegrating and confusing but they all seem to be in uniform with each other. Well thought and received of, thank you :)
