A sweet irritation

Life is a sweet irritation

With bittersweet beauty
It speaks

The sweetness
a false invitation

That every hour

turns sour

and reeks

of poison & perfume
Reminding

the soul of the toll
it must pay

for the needs and the deeds
we've entwined in our minds

from the words

that we've heard

and we say

i think it was Kipling, an Donne, that faced life, and death in such, this way. A modern version, I suppose. Well received by my appetite, i did enjoy this read...
