Love Poem: Fallen Down

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.
