Gruesome Vanity

Hand grasps scalpel, sharp it cleaves...
Cut around the face...
Into the dirty sink, blood it leaves...

Strands of blood, from skin to bone...
Peeling away, bleeding visage...
Into gory metal crate, its thrown...

Surgical scissors clip away...
Muscle and ligaments...
The face, beautifully flayed...

Bloody scissors, come to rest on grimy metal tray...
Hand slowly reaches and grips surgical blade...
Cutting away eyes, blood dripping, morbid display...

Single dying, hanging light bulb over head...
Casting lurking shadows...
Room of decay, the walls crawling with dread...

Blade coated in bleeding...
Cut away, flesh and muscle...
Into the sink, gore is feeding...

Nose, off of face amputate...
Blood, oozing and falling into sink...
Scrape more muscle, no need to sedate...

Scrape away the lingering flesh...
With gory surgical blade...
Cut away from face, warm and fresh...

Set down, surgical blade...
Dim light above...
Tilt head slightly...

Admire, in the light dull...
Quietly staring...
Into the mirror, at the skull...

The blood glistens in the light...
This work of absent sanity...
This beauty, this gruesome vanity.

    Dark and gruesome indeed. There are quite a number of images here that I found to be memorable and...seaching for the right word here...perhaps meaningful, that is to say there was truth and perhaps a lesson...anyway another epic write here bro.

    as he flayed the face and cute the skin
    that covered the soul as the blood glistened
    words come to mind of the satisfaction
    he finds and derives in the desires of flesh
    well penned to style Hugs always Luv Angel♥

    Very snazzy. The imagery is excellent along with the flow. The structure of this poem was also very snazzy. The scene you painted for the reader was done with an amazing amount of skill and clarity. A gorgeously gruesome write.
