Broken Dreams

Broken Dreams

A Poem by Daniel Sutheran

Salivating in solitude,
he looks above dripping bedsheets,
doesn't worry of the situation he's in,
only smiles and proceeds to invade her rights.
He licks his lips,
wiping a crimson stain from his cheek, 
then going back in on the poor girl,
to gorge and feast on her some more.
Dribbling through foetid teeth,
snapping a tendon, a ligament, a nerve,
he's not unnerved as he digs deeper,
cracking through the seam of her glowing abdomen.
Quivering in pure pleasure,
he giggles and tears into a thigh bone,
now swimming in his sweat and her coldness,
burying his face into her open chest and lungs.
Biting into her neck,
then chewing on her jugular vein,
her broken legs twisted around his waist,
he only smiles and giggles and sweats and...
awakes.

Thank you, Sami. Definitely not a run-of-the-mill topic, sure!

You are welcome...:).............
Cold sweats make cannibalistic dreams less sweet. Could I sing the untrue & call out the blissful night for a taste of flesh? No, I'd rather not.

But I love the way you drop little snippets of alliteration down every now & then!

Thank you for your review.
The perfect cannibalism dream. So powerful and gruesome! It's scary to have such dreams as this sometimes. I hate when you wake up from a dream such as this, making you wake up in sweats. Reading this gave me chills, but in a good way. Great job!
