Serve me my heart on a silver platter
Filled with tainted love and regret
Dine with me, help me to cannibalize
It's an entree you won't forget
A heart filled with strawberry blood
It's a delicious brand of desire
Served with a flower and a side of champagne
To set the sweet tongue on fire
No napkin needed, just lick your lips
Don't let yourself lose a taste
It's like an orgasm for your taste buds
To spare a drop would be a waste
Which flavor's the most dominant
When it comes to my beating, sweet heart?
Strawberry desire, pomegranate regret
Sweet, sour, delicious, or tart?
Come dine with me this evening, dear
Like velvet I'll whisper to you
Sweet promises to garnish your core
It's your heart that's next in the stew

Delightfully creepy
I really like all the amazing description, and the twist at the end is great! The 'heart filled with strawberry blood' in particular is an image that spooked me. I loved reading it Well done.

Significant Potential
Promising young voice and this particular piece deserved more than to be entered into a contest with 50 or even 5 options where appropriate judgement is virtually impossible.
Perhaps an IQ test would be recommended to enable the author to comfort the search for self-validation without necessarily needing to seek advice from those less apt if not inapt.
Vocabulary used here is richer than that shown by many who describe themselves as 'older and wiser' and, like vintage champagne, will doubtless tickle the taste buds of the future

The amazing imagery in this poem is to be complimented. Very well done.

Haha name pun alert!
Thank you so much for the compliment! I was so unsure when I wrote it, I'm glad you like it

very nice!!! I really liked this. A few notes:
I hate fuscia as a text colour it is simply awful.
You could, to assist the flow, rework your last verse just a touch.
But hey, I'm just the judge, what do I know
Thankyou for this fantastic entry, and best of luck.

Yeah sorry about the fuscia, I hate it too. I just chose it because it fit with the strawberries. Thanks for your critique!
