A Meal Meant for No One

Take a taste
this is how we know how.
But some things
are not meant for cutleries,
neither are they meant for tongues.
There are lethal matters cooking
the villain would not taste,
but serve for the buffet:
hot aromas,
clinks of cups and plates
aimed at serving.
But the villain
will not taste.
Now,
shards of glass everywhere
as the villain peeps
with sealed tongue
and hidden cups
and plates.

Hey there! I came across this intriguing poem; could you share what inspired you with it? The dark yet mysterious vibe is quite compelling. 3 days ago

Thank you for your comment. I thought about the meaning of a trance. There was this muse that laid the foundation to do what he will not do, and people he influenced went at their best doing all they were influenced to do, and there was a crash approaching that only he saw, but when it was his turn, he hid his plate and sealed the door to his tongue. 17 hours ago

Hah! Caution is key here. This poem makes me think of things that shouldn't be tasted or shared, but are still part of our world in some way. 2 days ago
