A Staged Rendezvous

By WoundsLikeStars

Curtain
Vivid shape
Give me a view
Glory at your form
Glance at intentions
Do not linger in shadow
Only offer a moment, dear one
Pale colored flesh screams with light
For a reason to be defiled, held, and tasted
Fabric, buttons, zippers, clasps; nothing but instinct
Before hesitation has built her church, plant this pagan flag
Your mouth, for Christ is my witness, your mouth burns
Searing moisture burns away trepidatious growth
This, a predestined dance of deep carnality
Rhythmic tapestry of teeth, sweat, skin
Forbidden is my simple aphrodisiac
Pain is your filthy requested muse
Something must release, love
Something must bleed, love
Something must die, love
Something just broke
Bite, scratch, clench
All for this offering
This straining
Your refrain
My retreat

I've never really tried to put any kind of structure or form to my work, but some of you have inspired me to branch out. I hope you enjoy this documentation of unexpected (predestined) meeting.

    The content fits well with the delicate, yet jutting appearance of a diamond. It reads like a slight nip at the nape of your neck. Wonderful shape poem, not too many of its kind. Scholar

    I love how you felt the energy wax and wane with the dimensions of the diamond, absolutely beautiful... I felt you talked too much about form in the poem, rather than let it speak for itself, but thats very little criticism, because this piece was brilliant overall.

    I absolutely appreciate your input. There are times when I say too little and there are just as many times when i try and overexplain myself. Something I need to work on.
