More Gore

In the mood for gore
And not yet satisfied
He searches for his fill

Splashes of life
Soak his soil-crusted shirt
Red gobbets paint dribbles on his chin

The fury gone, he plucks sightless eyes
To pop betwixt his teeth
The grape-like texture rolling on his tongue

A low moaning breath catches his ear
Peering closely into each bloody face
He feels the escaping warm of one

Silently he waits, no sound he makes
His hovering teeth inches from skin
Wait 'till eyes twitch slowly open

The gurgling scream cut short
With a crunching bite to the throat
Flailing limbs pound a rythym against his chest

He ponders the taste of tongues uncooked and salted
Missing fire-touched food
Clotting blood no longer like mulled wine

Sighing with forced breath,he strips fleshy fingers
And picks nails from between his teeth
Bloated... He wishes that he could see himself in the mirror

Gee

You are fast becoming the master of gore! The title fits. The theme is very gory indeed and lives up to the title. Your language turns my stomach, which it is supposed to do. Good work! Always, Cat

Thanks Cat, I know that it is not likely to win me the spotlight, or make me a lot of new friends and maybe even lose some of my readers. But for some reason this is what is coming out. I'm not sure what is happening to me. I have tried to write something light and/or funny, even romantic. All that I seem to be able to write is horror. It is like a selective writers block. I have tried not writing, hoping that it would trigger something, but it hasn't. Oh well, maybe tonight. Thanks for your comments. As always, Gee.
