Fallen Down
* This is a rather intricate form I created called a “Torridelle” - I hope you enjoy it! *
~
My Angel, fallen ...
Gossamer linen, violet lace
Window-dressing body, pressing
Goddess of unblemished grace
Beckoning - urge reckoning
Clasp me, push me ... down with you.
Close, to see my eyes in yours
Heart of darkness, warm and artless
Measured with our carnal cores
Fallowed - soon, unhallowed
Pull me, draw me ... down with you.
Savor sweet, your taste is mine
Greedy swallows, fill my hollows
Faultless form, engorged supine
Whetted - blade unfettered
Cut me, rend me ... down with you.
Pity, fawn to take me in
I, the frozen quarry chosen
Bartered virtue, ceded sin
Merging - madness surging
Gather me, wrench me ... down with you.
Each dynamic sates a thirst
A darkened oath devours both
Raptured screams yet unrehearsed
Spasm - plunging chasm
Drench me, drown me ... down with you.
Painted nails to flay my frame
Stripes of lust, a jealous trust
Lesions roused for fervor's flame
Unversed - do your worst
Stain me, rake me ... down with you.
Feral places, once denied
Cognate parts to blackened hearts
Souls and selves we can't divide
Twisted - double-fisted
Grind me, burn me ... down with you.
Sing to me a siren's wail
Rip the rhyme from all sublime
Watch the frenzied portions flail
Disguised - hell, improvised
Smite me, drag me ... down with you.
All in, My Angel ... fallen
So sweetly, and
So deeply
Down.
With.
You.
