Cannibal Love

The cannibal is thirsty

for a flesh martini

Dabs of salt here and there

On tongue and ocean groin

The ********* is hungry

To be the tender olive

Eaten very slowly

Lick the ****** pleasures

Of each other's

knife

kiss

Maternal affections

pouring open by God's rage

They are

shelter

Ignition

To each other's

demons

wonderfully delicious

as frosting or

whipped

cream

They are rare fruit, indeed

What are the odds of them finding each other?

Just goes to show, my lonely lovers

There's someone for everyone

You too

Will find

Your soul mate

Someday

just as the blood

Will eventually

Drip

from

the cannibal's

smiling

mouth

Oh my love,

you are my

yummy chicken bone

dipped in

your

sauce

"Ahhhhh...." he says

"This must be love."
