Insatiable
Reaching and yearning
Definitive
Human attributes
Primitive
cravings.
Ravenous monsters
Deduced to this?
Emptiness haunts us,
A Self-induced
thirst.
Restriction, taboo
Unless, “The Food”
Addiction, to you;
Numbness,
ecstasy.
Sipping, slide away
With the wine wave
Dripping, with escape
From perpetual
flow.
Convincing, I am,
Eyes blazing blue
Must be desired
Unhinged, then
unglued.
Yes, insatiable.
Contradictions
Implored to ensure
Infliction
remains.
Wine. Control. Favored.
Three simple musts
But just like me, they
Are never
enough.

I love the rhythm and pacing you created.
The font choice is perfect for the theme of the poem. Like, at any point, it seems it could all disappear. I liked this a lot.
Very raw, I think the fragmented structure really strengthens this poem. The pursuit of satisfaction that paradoxically deepens the emptiness is a profound and painfully honest core theme.
so good!! I love the movement and rhythm. Favorite lines:
‘With the wine wave/
Dripping’
‘Contradictions…/
Infliction.’
