Touch my lips with wilderness
impale me with your eyes
caress my throat with rapture
my soul in torment dies.
Hold me in your festered arms
drink my ragged breath
I drown in black perdition
annoint me in my death.
Lay me in unhallowed ground
beneath a cross of pain
etch my name in putrid blood
I rot in your domain.

Wow!! This flows so well, and you did a great job on the background! The poem is dark and chilling. Very well done. Thank you for entering and good luck!

Great write. I like the flow - it does not feel *forced* Definitely worthy of Broken Dreams. I look forward to reading more of your work. Again, excellent job on this piece!
