Slanted Breath (Revised)

Encircling flesh-- rapt in her gaze:
growls from her throat caught sublime;
a  languorous glance left me terrified.

Devout, crude acolyte, to her feminine altar
where worship commenced at eventide:
I whirled, naked, in the eclipse of her eyes.

And she, bemused, writhed and grinned
at the absurdity in which I harbored
trinkets of past lives to offer her.

Each strand that flamed from her mind
coiled into a noose; I strode unsteadily,
ready to die again, and exalt as her tribute.

Tightening-- the lock of aria seemed too vast--
she whispered, "Transcend," flashing dark curves
awaiting my emergence from slanted breath.

CRITICAL CRITIQUE PLEASE! BE RUTHLESS! I LIKE IT ROUGH!

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    It didn't make any sence. There's a lot of hard words in it. What does "aria" mean? Explaining things with not-so-hard words is a good way to write a poem.

    • Um...

      please look in a dictionary to define those words you're having trouble with. If a word or phrase in another poem is in a foreign language, it is up to the reader to decide if it is worth translating those words back into their mother tongue. The words I use in this poem, as in many of my poems, use good language. I love words, I don't think "not-so-hard" words make a good poem as much as arrangement of those words. A poem is supposed to rely on the challenge of brevity (shortness) and wit. Thanks for the comment, anyway.

    Hmmmmmmm

    I like this a lot. I pictured it all taking place in an underground cavern, with flames licking up through crevices. I didn't quite get what the emergence from slanted breath means, but... I'm still a novice at this. keep up the good work.
