E.V.O.L.

What is E.V.O.L.?

Is it a box of chocolates?

A posy that pickpockets?

Beautiful and aromatic

or allergenic substance

your heart beats crazily for

drives the mind erratic

in invariable inductance

for allergens to keep their score.

Makes you wheeze

existence very wayward

an onion, multilayered

essential oils sting like bees

as every level peels off

salty droplets groove the face

due to its bitterness you quaff

ergo, it shifted to mace.

Undressed bare to the core

the soul sobs evermore

onion peels go bad

faith was not ironclad

petals crumpled by absence

whose weight feeds reluctance

sheets' outlines coloured in drabness.

Lamentable the lone companion

oxidisation of pseudo-stainless feeling

victim fallen for springtime scallion

ephemeral tandem ends in freewheeling.

Lies overloaded, vainly emitted
Lustful oculi vitiate emotion
Lispers orate venereal enmity
Lingering obsessions vitalise erosion
Lucky owners, verity's electricity
Like overarching virtuosity's echo.
