Bittersweet agony
Biting into me
Naked flesh
Angry lash
I shall not beg for mercy

Bind me, blind me, crucify me
I'll suffer just to please
Carry out my punishment
With your sadistic ease

And with each tortureous embrace
I'll bow down to your command
And hungrily eat the forbidden fruit
that lay rotting in your hand

Sweet misery envelopes me
To awaken darkest lust
I savour every painful treasure
Of my masochistic curse

Though hollow my eyes may seem
As they echo every sin
It's not my soul he finds in me
Im only worshipped skin.

Pout, the theme of image is a popular one in passions whether in poetic form or in Philosophy 101 and one I have also explored but I don't think I have ever seen it so painfully written. This is intense almost too intense, these words bled. All I can say I hope this is not your reality if so I wish you well. Take care, love and peace

This is just too incredible for words.  The imagery is fantastic...the pain so real.  I'm sure this poem will speak to many here in DP.  Excellent, PP.  Hardrock

Lovely!  Probably the wrong word...  But that's what I thought when I read it.  Great stuff!

You did this well,
I enjoyed it,
I've visited these feeling myself;
and can understand how the can dwell,
lingering on the mind
after not a mark on the skin you'll find,
I've felt them again in your words.

you were the first person to reply to my first posted poem.. so I thought I'd look at your writing and I am thoroughly impressed.  Absolutely beautiful, yet dark and daring.  I read your poem and I can smell sex, leather, and blood.

amazing!

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live
