Ravished

This is strange...

Curious lips of a blade firmly wrap
Around sun bronzed flesh
Nibbling and tasting voraciously
Needful, ravaging, lusting
Itching for the metallic tang of
Blood balling on the surface like pearls
Aching of a desire for more
Love of destruction
Starving for skin

self mutilation is a hard thing to recover from and many don't understand the need to cut. Many label people with this disorder as "freaks". Not true...it is a detrimental way of self nurturing when people don't know how to do it in a positive way and it comes an addiction.

very strange. but it is so well done. the vocab in this is amazing. good work!

I read something disturbing here. Something ... chillingly disturbing. If it does it's job if you intend it simply to describe something terrifying. If you wanted to put me at ease ... [Grin] ... not so much.

This IS strange but it is also brilliant! love love this line "Itching for the metallic tang of Blood balling on the surface like pearls"

Strange maybe, but also enticing.

I love this poem. I love the harsh sounds and the words that seem to ooze the "Aching of a desire" that you've set out to convey, very disturbing, well written poetry.

Love you word choices in this! Needful, ravaging, lusting...strong words to describe a strong feeling. Your words make it possible to understand how inviting this could be to some.

[Talismanic]

The last lines are kind of right on the mark... addictive words :)
