Carnivore Kisses

Strange glowing eyes

in the darkened corridor.

Sinister yellow upward stare.

 

You feel the warm

beastly tongue

caressing your fresh

wounds.

 

You freeze.

 

Wondering

if you can discern

between healing kisses

and some monster

licking the frosting

off of a muffin

that it’s about to

devour.

1. I love muffins
2. I love monsters
3. this thing has the foreboding of not some silly painting of creatures, but more the idea of someone making you all better, or simply f*****g with you..

interesting

I love the last stanza, very funny! It had a great twist and contrast about it.

I freeze my heartbeats faster in anticipation, his glowing eyes holding me captive. You have no idea how bad I’d like to be that muffin ;) .. your poem was wonderfully written thank you for sharing.

Wow. This is scary and interesting. Haha, It made me stop moving as I read it. It makes me think of the non-fluffy vampires, like Bram stoker's Dracula. The word "beastly" stands out in my mind after I read this.

I had to chuckle at that final stanza - what a differentiation of possibilities... I'll take door number........ 1.
