Spiderweb.

I doubt that "Spiderweb" will be the title of this forever, but it is for now.

Here it is:

Cruel man
You cruel fucking slippery man
How can you keep a smile on your face
When you've poured yourself onto
This platter before me
Looks more delicious than the
Too-sweet sugar I've been offered

You have no intention of letting me devour you
Not just yet
I can tell that
You want me salivating to the point
Of nearly choking on myself
I am going to catchyoubiteyouchewyou
Up
And redefine blood.

Don't be nervous-I still plan on licking
your wounds for you and purring
you back to calm contemplation.

I just want to see you sweat first.

-me.

I'm not really sure who or what it's about, I just vomited it up and like it a lot.

The lust comes through all right, no doubt about it.

Well, that's good. I think it was supposed to be lustful, I'm just not sure why.
I actually just had a tiger in mind when I wrote it.

If you're being sincere, thank you very much.

If you're being sincere, and you don't mind telling me, what about it? I'm very into analyzing poetry, but few other people seem to enjoy it.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I like the way the tempo of the poem increases until you reach the last line, which is kind of like the release of the poem. HumanePain, it is lustful indeed.

I love where you choose to break up the lines within this piece...my poetry professor once said "Let a line be something worthy of being written upon a tombstone", and I think you fulfill this... And very nice imagery. I like this a lot.

It's hot because reading it is like being told off by a domme. Literary depictions of love which use sado-masochistic language appeal to me more than overtly erotic or pornographic stuff. I'm more cerebral than animal when it comes to sex.

Analyzing poetry......... that's hot too. (Cerebral, remember.)
