Salvation!

This is somewhat gross, just tried to explore what revenge might feel like. Would it be like sweet salvation from age long guilt and pain? Just a thought which struck my mind!

Hither lies the fiend, deep in slumber

chuckling away in lustful dreams it seems,

Bared are his teeth ,stained and soiled

while his tongue poised to strike lies coiled.

Emanating from those blackened lips

wasted through ages of nicotine and ash,

is the stinking stench of cheap alcohol

defying heavens’ purity in full control.

Yes those are the lips which had once kissed mine,

whispered tales of lust that had then seemed divine.

 

Yes those are the hands now greased in slime

filthy fingers that had once glided over mine

ravaged fair flesh, gratifying endless greed

tormented my soul for that lust to feed.

 

Yes those are the thighs shaggy and soiled

so often had they lain across me coiled

engulfing me in shameless glee

entrapped in a bond, powerless to flee.

 

Aah thy pungent stink is like venom in the air,

It lingers this autumn defying thy beautiful care.

 

Could I not just sink my nails through his throat?

Chortling out aloud as he would grovel and snort.

Licking with relish in the warmth of acrid blood

as he clatters on the earth with a gasp and a thud.

One shot and it would all end with the smoke

else I should flee , because then I would choke.

Oh the pleasure would be mine I swear,

Who says slaughter brings remorse with a tear?

Alas that’s not true for a lifeless corpse ,that’s me,

It’s the salvation I seek from thou till eternity!

the picture was stunning and entrapped me from the start and then I read the poem and it did the picture justice...oh yes it did .. the imagery of this poem.. literally makes me feel my blood vessels pumping as they shoot blood and oxygen to my brain making me visualize image after image of the beautiful and sinister face of revenge .. Favorited.
