Eve fights off the shadows.

Last night, I dreamt I was on my knees and you were there with a belt in hand, whipping me, until I was red and heaving below your waist. You punished me like a sick child and cracked me open again, to this love. You hydrated the shell of my own creation until it melted.

I opened,
I gave.

Like water I fell through.

And your body is still that of a god's to me with its imperfections, softness, skin folds, whiter lines forming a map I trace down into crevices that hold the scent of you. My legs were mine for bringing me to you. My mind is split in two. My eyes linger in the absence of you, not to beauty, but to try to see through heads into brains and through chests into souls, because maybe there is something to access to ease and relieve myself of the idea that you are the only one in this world for me,

For me,

My breasts miss your hands,
My hands miss your flesh,
My hips were yours when you pinned them,
My lips were yours when you kissed them,
My hair was yours when you pulled like the reigns,
And the rest of me, does it belong to you?

I'll leave my mind to my keeping. And I refuse to merge my soul for now. For what is a soulmate anyhow?

But my heart is yours.

My heart is yours.

Shades of Neruda...sensual and romantic...to give your self heart and soul, to someone is a special thing...and for them, to protect you for it, is truly special...a very beautiful poem that lingers in thought after it has been read.

A lovely poem.

Powerfully written with some dark undertones. Well written

This has a sexually raw charge to it - almost voyeuristic. The S&M undertones always fascinate...it reminds me of a Tolstoy story when one of the heroines slams a door on her fingers...and loves it. "My hair was yours when you pulled like reigns" best line - dunno, maybe because it's an image accompanied by a simile...maybe think about useing more similes/metaphors? what comes after that line falls flat (ESP "soulmate")....I would ponder another ending after the hair one, something "poetic" about this person's heart...well, now that's another 2cents, so u owe 4 pennies lol ur stuff is truly intriguing, or else I wouldve only given u one review;)
