Bio-Hazard

By Melancholic VIncent

Souring soft skin so slowly
Acidic fluid takes it time
Viscous and sadistic
Patiently flows
Inversely proportional
To traumatic burns it inflicts

Melts and boils
Now deformed by the masochist liquid
The hardened skin erupts blisters
Holding inside unimaginable pain
Bursting instantly as bubbles of molten lava

Irreversible damage
Immediate transformation
Dragon scales emerge
From immaculate, sinless skin

Bathed in the uncaring fluid
Smokes and steams
While devouring flesh
Remorselessly, relentlessly
Cannibalizing to the bone

Author's Note:

I started this one by thinking about how pain is the best inspiration for a poem sometimes. Hope you like it. It's very raw.

    Yeah, I've heard about it. This one is not for everybody, one has to know the hidden meaning of this or you'll end up being known as a sadistic lol

    I loved this... You describe the pain perfectly...I could almost feel it through your words ^.^

  • A former member wrote: Yeah, it's true. I think that's one advantage of the poetry. We can really feel the pain that is inside the words...

    Poetry it's an enhanced perception of the world, it goes deep and is very intense like a fire that burns inside us. No man can feel poetry if he isn't aware of that energy flowing through him

    Glad you liked it! Acidic pain sometimes feels so much like emotional pain. Guess you can make that association.

    A remarkable sojurn from damsel to dragon perhaps, so glad it wasn't another worn out werewolf tale, you do rock!

    I only talked about dragon scales because the deformed skin from the acid may have some allusions with scales from dragon because the skin gets hard and with a shape that may resemble dragon scales as i said. But a poem may take many forms, it depends on who reads it. Thanks for your contribution, it's always welcomed and enjoyed
