Funom Makama Poet Rhyme Royal

Hunger and Taste

Nature's curse, putting the whole to sober
but when over-stretched, can sting like rubber
comfort and strength all in a bad set
the body's freedom, limited by an inner corset
a corrosive inside in need of the next butter
physiological redemption coming through water
instinctive drive to swallow the sea
any coloured liquid, tantalizing as tea
an inevitable cycle to constantly stay fresh
preserving the functionality of a dying flesh

Vladislav Raven February 6, 2016 at 3:28 PM Hi Funom, an excellent write my friend. Your poems hold deep meaning as your words flow so easily into the mind painting the canvas. The pictures come before us as we read, whether they be sad or happy they are always painted so well. A seven and a fave for this piece my friend....Vladislav.
