The Lover

You are so lovely
My angel
How I long
to wrap my arms
around you.
Hear you whisper
my name.
You're at the window again.
I savor the thrill of watching
unknown, unseen
my trembling hands clutching
these sweat-drenched grips.
And the glass fogs, momentarily
blocking my vision of you.
You, my perfection
My beauty
My forbidden fruit.
I wonder
will your throat
be as soft
beneath my hands
as I've dreamed?
I wonder
will my name
on your lips
sound so sweet?
Your cherry red lips
Your mouth, so alluring
Your gentle mouth
downturned in that little frown you do
when you're puzzled or worried.
I want to hear my name
whispered, even screamed
if I hurt you
will you scream my name?
If I plunge, if I leap
straight into the abyss
if I take you
if I force you
on that bed
that pink-sheeted bed
will it be sweet?
Will it be so sweet
like a biting into a peach
from a tree?
When my hands find that soft throat
and I feel your last gasp
my body taunt like wire
as you unwind beneath me
as your clock winds down
and I am the face
you carry into eternity
that last face, that last love
will it be so sweet?
I think it will.
My beauty, my gem, my rose
you are mine.
I'm coming for you soon.

    alluring, sensual and deadly beautiful. This piece describes forbidden love to the fullest. Kind of reminds me of a serial killer in its way It flows wonderfully and you can picture yourself right there, wether you are the killer yourself, or the damsel in distress. Very beautiful!

    Disturbingly Sensual

    I felt chills...The passion and the obsession were acutely felt. "When my hands find that soft throat/and I feel your last gasp/my body taunt like wire/as you unwind beneath me". The words just flow, one right into the next, they drip like honey and whisper like the wind, soft and sweet, yet so deadly.

    GOOD***

    A very wonderful write. I think the rhyme scheme could work better with this piece and make it flow just like a river. Beautifully written and a wonderful job, now I think you just need to organize the thoughts a bit and give it some structure so the audience can flow better with it. I really enjoyed it, just something is there that caught my eye.

    My favorite part was:

    'You, my perfection
    My beauty
    My forbidden fruit.'

    I really like the associations with your diction.
