A powerful poem, with a taste so sour ... but sweet. This poem is one of the few who reach deep within the heart of those who read it. It reaches into our corners that we try to hide before the world. Into our deepest, darkest corners ... one can literally feel the poem as it slithers down your mind.

It's dark, seductive, full of longing. The words you've chosen - perfect, they stress out the madness within the poem to its maximum potential.

Awesome poem. :)
