Poison To the Parched
My heart's secrets
Spill as viscous substance
The seal split
Purity spoilt
From your poison in my veins.
Slowly I sip
From tainted ambrosia
Interludes of ecstasy
Amidst a transient
Shimmering surface.
I swallow you like sugar
Tempting and exquisite
Fleeting pleasure quenched
You rot my insides out
As I plead for more.
Rebecca .A. Huxley
