Seasoned

Missing image

Entombed in vat of acrid seasonings,

reveries mutated to vipers

midnight's tongue that licked in caramel salvia

drools hell's sweetener,

droplets crippling in fantasia's carcinogens.

 

Flowerbed apocrypha plantings

blossom with screaming thorns

brain hemorrhaging of its castle plasma,

its poison flooding the pulse.

 

Sanguine claret sangria sipped

during respite at elation's coffee house,

becomes pungent vinegar broth

spread as cancer through one's sensory octopus,

who tentacles grope each angst's cyst with fiery vice grips.

 

Mirror speaks only in emaciated effulgence,

dusk grows lips with tarantula moans

creeping through insides

awaken all the goblins once slain

in sunrise glints of Oz.

 

Stealth is knife of Camelot's assassins

who rapes the soul and pillage tomorrow's vault,

silence the funeral for Nirvana,

eulogy lived in a morgue

where stench of passion's formaldehyde

causes an malady

where rain always has cynicism's droplets.

  • OUCH! That's the first thing that comes to mind while I was reading this. Your metaphors are, as always, exquisitely unique and powerful. You use some extremely powerful words, "vinegar">>ugh. Now that burns.
    "emaciated" "vice grips"...the list goes on . This just spits the venom of bitterness. A great take on the picture and prompt.

    thank you for entering my contest and g'luck!

    S.P.~
