Disgrace

Missing image
To dance until the edge of dawn,
with a girl who’s almost dead
Then drag her cold and sullen frame,
upstairs to my bed

Her naked body cool and damp,
her pasty skin quite soft
Looking to the headboard;
her departed sister floats aloft

Wondering when it was I died,
for heaven this is not
This filthy place where I reside,
it seems that time forgot

Clammy; as I feel her breasts,
her eyes are sunken in
With a tongue that feels and tastes like ash,
where do I begin

The treasure that she once did have,
between those flaccid legs
Has withered to a dusty gash,
and smells a bit like eggs

Once the apple of my eye,
she is now just a rotten core
A pile of dirty dank debris,
my lovely private whore

The road maps on her arms and legs,
could lead across the state
Breath of stale tobacco and scotch,
she’s leading me to hate

Where is that gal that I once knew,
before the booze and dope
Seems to me that both our lives,
are dangling by a rope

As the dirt rolls down her legs,
I thought I heard her gasp
Working up this lifeless peg,
I work toward her asp

Day breaks through the tattered shades,
again I feel defiled
For the sight of this has haunted me,
since I was a child

Never have I followed the rules,
never been quite sane
In my next life if I chose,
I’d pick this girl again

So laying here in our stench,
there is a smile upon my face
I have worked for my whole life,
to conjure up disgrace

My final footsteps have led me here,
to this place of ill repute
I’ve gotten just what I deserved,
a taste of poisoned fruit

    Creepy Fruit

    Wow that was brilliant especially keeping the rhyme flowing and never forcing it. Great use of words to describe smells, great. Good luck in the contest

    Shudder!

    Boy, you have given me a creepy feeling with your very vivid poem. I was imagining every line and you certainly can pick your women. Ha!

    This is a great poem with terrific choice of words and a rhyme even speaking of the smell of eggs.

    Oooh! I shall have nightmares now.
