Poem: The Perfect Dinner

-

An exquisite feast
delicious tastes
sweet, sour, salty
different areas of the tongue
spicy or bland
It's very much a personal matter.


complementary colors
red and green and white
catching your interest
displays drawing your attention
to where it needs to be
pleasing to the eye


hot, cold, warm to the touch
Some can tolerate how it feels
better than others
and some cannot abide how it
slides down your throat
it influences your brain.


soft music playing to the ear
to stimulate the appetite
and lower your tension
aid in digestion
and brings all together:
relax and enjoy.

Problems with power: any hint of betrayal root it out right now Extirpate it completely only then can you be safe. VII. He sits back to watch this story replays itself and he's...

Skullduggery in the back alleys and run down warehouses of the city the rain washes away all evidence of the blood. Life in the shadows is hard you learn to melt away see but not be seen close your ears to the screams and the cries of the devoured. No one judges you for what you have to do to survive. The ones who do come from the moral high ground and would not survive a single night. Your soul is already damned That is cold hard fact. What matters is what you make of your short existence in the limited time you are here. Will you be one of the forgotten?
