Candide Diderot Poet Free verse

The Pain Sweet

Existentially you think
you know me 
having eaten a slice 
of my mind 
delicious you think
the bubbling froth 
of this poetry
peppered with sprinkles
of rising undertones 
the sugar depth charged
unstirred, yet 
touch the lip of my cup
you’d feel the burn 
the tongue means to speak
unhoneyed
the kiss stings 
the pain 
swollen 
and 
sweet







Candide Diderot. '24

Beata Agustin January 4, 2024 at 8:34 PM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed. Candide Diderot January 5, 2024 at 12:52 AM Thank you. I'm considering burning a tattoo into my skin. Psalm 118:24. At that place, just above the heart.
