Steal me
conceal me
in the cellar
of your soul
Bind me
Bury me
Swallow me whole

Steal me
reveal me
In the woods
after dark
Pilfer my belongings
Strip me
Stark

Steal me
Embezzle me
Net or gross
Trick me
Into infamy
Inject me
with a lethal dose

Steal me
Assault me
Force an entry
Hold me up
Cheat me of
All wordly goods
Cyphon off my luck

Steal me
Harass me
Dog my day
Poach my night
Bother me
Beset me
Do me wrong
And do it right.

A very thrusting piece, like a sword slashing left and right.

Thanks XGarapanX and thanks again Again (the best compliment is when someone goes back and reads it again).
This poem runs with a bit of a theme of mine, another of which from the same group goes like this:

Read me
Pronounce me
With tender intonation
Take me
One word at a time
Abandon all your punctuation
Hold my stanzas
Feel the rhythm of my rhyme

Read me
Rush me
Roll my scribbles across your lips
Tickle your tonsils
With my jingles
Spin my euphonious bits

Read me
Title me
Compose me at will
Bend my meaning
Conquer my couplets
Dangle off my dactyls

Read me
Verb me
Like an adjective noun
Forgive my wild rhetoric
Plagiarize me
All over town

Read me
Read me again
Read me.

Perhaps it is because I am a man that I saw this as a poem ripe with visceral sexual inuendo.  Two speakers came to mind when I read.  The first was money -- just plain, simple money -- while the second was a woman.  Money is that which we all desire and which we use as an engine in order to enable the practice of everything from the best to the worst deeds of humanity.

As to the woman, she was perhaps vaguely critiquing society (perhaps reminiscent of Pauline Reage's O).  Maybe she was just expressing what was on her mind.

In any case I think I must repeat back at you your message concerning critiques.  If I am wrong in my assessment of your poem and do tell it like it is.

Thanks for a great read.

fractal007 - I really like your thoughts about the speaker being money, I hadnt thought of that and I can really see where you are coming from. However, you were on the money with the voice being that of a woman. I was just kind of playing with the idea of sexual desire being disguised in firstly a darker theme, then the language of...well language I suppose. The 3rd in the group goes is below and with a a rather masculine motor theme probably leaves you under no illusions...and really, thanks for your reply. Janet x

Drive Me
Ride me
Do it full pelt
Honk me
Tax me
Break my fan-belt

Drive me
Wax me
Polish my hubs
Buff me
Haul me
Dip my nuts in grease tubs

Drive me
Fuel me
Go go on amber
Wheel me
Steer me
Down an adverse camber

Drive me
Clutch me
Give me a crank
Beat out my bumper
Plunge your rod
In my tank

Drive me
Park me
Line me with leather
Tow me
Hot wire me
Wreck me forever.

It's getting hot in here.  I'm not a moderator, but isn't that more suited for the adult forums?  In any case, the fact that I happen to be reading Stephen Mitchel's modern English translation of Gilgamesh (just finished the bit about the goddes Ishtar trying to seduce Gilgamesh) right now does little to prevent me from making suggestive connections .

Hey doll.... love the original piece.... the second piece, as well. The third piece.... I truly adore! Perhaps it's that you combined my adoration of cars and sensuality into one great package! Love it!
