touch is a little fearsome flame –
i the lithe monster
(far too nothing for that title)
shrinking from the melting fingers.
and the flesh does drip;
bending into mine, that which i control
so i embrace all i learn
from this first time experimental endeavor
that steady hands make bone breaks
a compound fracture of the mind; no
just a yellow fainting half-circle on my knee
hold me back;;
for i have spent days too long in the company of sadists
although there is less beauty
in desperation alone
as it seems too furtive, too unplanned
too phantasmal
for what is just the roots of trust
not planted in a paraphiliac mind
not the tendrils of blatant obsession
i am just had.

prompt: masochism
i did mainly about the trust that has to be involved to allow someone else to physically injure you. it's really interesting to think about.
paraphiliac is a word! i swear!
Thanks for the comment.

i liked it,
it took me into a state of mind that i never explored before - so it was definitely thought provoking.
this part was my favorite:
