Horrific Beauty

by @anthonyasylum

There is something violent about how I see the skin on your body Its so rich and smooth, almost decadent and unlike you This observation turns into a premeditation when you touch my cheek Its almost like i can feel the heat melting off your bones As I laid you down and slipped a knife underneath your sternum You whispered something hidden in painful tones like a sharp breath piercing the guttural moans But I dont need to hear words to know the searing desire steaming from your guts as I replaced them with hot stones The blood on your finger tips remind me of fresh water on leaves after a storm and your severed head looks like its been through famine, disease, and a damaged city plagued and war torn Yet there is still beauty in the decayed decadence that is your mutilated corpse The moonlight drowns in the canal of blood begging for remorse while the insects march and sing a song of things that can only get worse ©anthonyasylum
