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 brian "A frog, it cannot comprehend the sea Nor me happiness" Paul Draper-Mansun |

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. Gloom |

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! |
