Soda Water

.Black Labeled.

Scotch whisky neat

Soda water on the side

Contemptible b***h

Confused spite all around

Simple simon, a game

Became a real man 

Stimulating reactions

Illuminating buttons

 and s**t

For you...

To be pressed

A reindeer man

Or a human unicorn

Rudolphian... light the darkness

Show a way... of kinds

Empowered

Is how I propel you

Have you thought like this before?

Take your time

I sell emotion cheap

In noun and verb

I'm a f*****g super store

Have you dined off me before?

My blood is rich

And delicious

You can smell it so

In 3-d colored

Stupid metaphor...

The lines "I sell emotion cheap/In noun and verb/I'm a f*****g super store/Have you dined off me before?" are deep on their own, but paired with the very last line, they convey an amazing message. I personally see it as a suicide letter left in the jeans of a person who has been used by everyone in their life, even their own family, but didn't have the strength (or perhaps were too cowardly) to actually off themselves. They're mad but too weak to push back so they just roll with it in festering silence, turning to alcohol and possibly selling their body.
In short, I really like this a lot and may base a short story off it if you'd allow. I'd credit you, of course.

I really, really enjoyed this. I think it cant be interpreted multiple ways and that is one of my favorite things about certain pieces. I'm definitely subscribing to you :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. One thing you can usually count on with me is open ended writing. I may have a specific point but I try to include counter points and playful contradictions or something to induce a more fuzzy interpretation. Creative writing has no business telling people what to think, it's merely a prompt for a more individual internal conversation in the readers brain piece. I think so anyway.

I didn't fully understand the jist of the poem. Could you kindly give me a context? Thanks :)

[Davidgeo]

Find your own. It'll be more meaningful that way.

Some really great lines. There are some people who do feed off of others, leaving the others drained.
I've read this one before I think. Good one

[Davidgeo]

The lines are usually greater than the whole with my poems. One of these days I'm gonna put it all together. If I were to bet on it, however, I'd bet against it.

Who is a man eater? Most of my poems are conversations with myself about myself. I suppose I'm a man eater then.

[Davidgeo]

ha... I see it perfectly now. This is not the first time a reviewer's interpretation exceeds my original meaning. Thanks for the review Rach

Have you dined off me before?

[The Poet of Black Wings]

So, it's about a prostitute?

[Davidgeo]

Ha... yeah. It is.

[The Poet of Black Wings]

Cool. And they like their job?

[Davidgeo]

I love it... mostly... I love it mostly

[The Poet of Black Wings]

Good? I suppose?

[Davidgeo]

As long as Will Smith is singing "Gettin Jiggy Wit' it" in the background... it's good? I suppose? Big Willy Fresh Prince Style.
