Peel Away My Layers

By Malcholm Dark

Take me, I belong to you
And peel away my layers.

Devour me.

Smell my steamy flesh
My tantalizing aroma.

Devour me.

Gorge yourself on me
You ravenous devil.

Devour me.

Take me, I belong to you
And peel away my layers.

I am a Bloomin' Onion.

I loved the metaphor between onion and man, well orchestrated. And any piece that is dedicated to our supper is well-recieved. I had a steak that I had to commemorate, next time i`ll make sure it comes with onions.

Haha "You cannibalistic devil." If cannibalism is to eat one's own kind, does that mean you're actually an onion? Man I haven't had a bloomin' onion in years, definitely reminds of those good times though. Write on.
