Cannibal

Dinner for two is dinner for one, when one of the two is a cannibal. Jarod Kintz

If I could read you

in letters

or symbols

I would write you down

as a sum of words.

 

And then when you are away,

 

just for a moment,

 

I would recite you

and my sentences

would come alive.

 

But if I could taste you

in smells and flavours

what then, my love?

 

It is difficult to admit

but then

I would eat you gladly

bit by bit

Thank you, it must not always be so serious, but on the other hand, love is a serious thing and as they say: 'All is fair in love and war. :)

Such a mild and sensible cannibal. Reminds me of ginger bread boys and the host, attractive concepts of a universally repellant theme.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you Delmar, glad you liked it. :)

reminds me of what it's like hanging out with a sociopath when i still didn't know what a sociopath was and that's what they were!

I don't understand your review. Please elaborate a bit more.
