Candy Cane

By FearlessDragon

Glaciers forming deep within
It seems it's time again
Chimes twinkling in my head
Fading into red....

Blank canvases I see
Oh! The possibilities

How pretty you would look
Upon a bed of nails
Paper skin so frail

How splendid you will taste
Ribcage open ... Splayed

Scream my name
You lovely thing
Tell me i'm insane!

Convince me of your innocence,
While I demonstrate this pestilence

Shackles strain and clank
Upon your wincing face
Roasting on an open flame

Entranced in zombie gaze
Upon the swirling drain
Teeth and blood,
Twisting like a candy cane

Corkscrew vasectomy,
Beg for me!

Tell me how it hurts!

Ice pick lobotomy,
Don't dig too deep

You mustn't fall asleep
Don't want you to miss a beat

I've saved the best for last...

I hollow out your chest
So you may feel MY pain
Past forgotten though it be,

Bathe me in your suffering...

I was hoping it would have a somewhat sexual undertone... Is it bad that I LIKE that it turns you on?? lol

Several cuts above the usual fare with some diabolical images at play, but entirely appropriate and fleshed-out. Make mine a standing rib roast, cheers FD!
