    Ravenous
    I fed to you
    Words unseemingly cryptic
    And profoundly revealing
    Teetering on the verge of hope
    Plagued with fallacy and doubt

    I served you
    Lines woven with rancorous threads
    Hidden securely among death and despair
    Shimmering faintly towards beauty
    Imprisoned by silken strings of betrayal

    I let you feast
    Upon my omnibus of intolerable truths
    Entwined with cleverly chaotic hypotheses
    And you devoured every last one
    Like a ravenous beast

    This is a very descriptive piece. It grabbed my attention and kept it for the duration of my reading it. I love it!

    YOUR WORDS ARE LIKE DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES VERY SEDUCTIVELY WRITTEN BECAUSE OF THE BITTER SWEETNESS IS IN PERFECT BALANCE. YOU MAY LOSE SOME WITH SOME OF THE COMPLICATED IMAGERY, BUT NOT EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO CHOCOLATE COAT STRAWBERRIES.

    What an enveloping mixture of words, and as I read to re-read I devoured... thanks for the feast. Write on! 10

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
