Sweetener's Cell

How long will I wait for the candy doors to unlock?
You have tempted me to stay.
But bury me--
Bury me no more. 
You have a sickening pleasure for things that decay.
Within your reach and within your wandering sight,
I cannot rot this way.
...But you own me, still.
Here in your sweeteners cell, your furtive core,
Where you feed me sweets and nothing more.
Soon, you will get tired of the way I taste,
And all of me will go to waste.
Sweeter things rot faster;
In all its worth,

It had always been your cravings that I'm after.

Time will come when I wouldn't be part of your thrill; 
When I'd have melted in your mouth, or you'd have emptied your fill.
That day when you'd have licked the last fleeting taste
And have flossed your tainted teeth...
Deliriously, regretfully and with honey-suckled shame,
I will come back, still,
To drown in your candy prison, my sweet.

Sugary sweet isn't always what it turns out the be. The ugliness and rot under the surface..chilling. thank you for sharing your work with me.

[KIMBERLY]

I can sense your emotions from here...

whatever it is...
Pls... Don't let anyone make you feel that way.

nice poem though :)

[Thea Fuentebella]

well, no one is. It's not personal. Thanks for the concern, though.
And thank you for the nice review. :)

A sweat tooth that is also screaming Danger Zone. As a chef, i know that sweet always follows with a savory. And this was very savory in theme.

"To drown in your candy prison, my sweet."
Good to be in the candy prison. I enjoyed the place you took me to. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

A gruesome, slightly sexy story about attraction, perhaps an unhealthy attraction. Great job with this one, hadn't stopped by in a while, but i'm glad i did. :)

the first poem I have read from Thea..well written

[manifesto]

A couple grammatical mistakes, but otherwise wonderful rhythm and a great piece overall!

[Dayran]

You obviously have a sweet tooth. Nice ...

[Edward Lancheister]

regardless the grammar and a few miss vocabulary, i like the rhyme of this poem

candy sweeter in the taste but could raise the sugar on your blood, create an acid chemistry in your mouth

thanks for share, keep writing :)
