Kill Me Lovely

La petite mort

I will die

A million little deaths

My legs will go numb

And I must be carried

To my next murder

Where I will die

A million more little deaths

Take me away

And keep me under

With no chance

Of coming back to life

Make it gruesome

Cut out my heart

Teach me the meaning

Of a little death

I also find it interesting that you have used horrors in the context of orgasm. I can think of better ways to die than having your heart cut out. Just blast me into orbit, that will do nicely. Enjoyed your thoughts Lexi and the read.

I wanted to this poem to show that the female orgasm can, if perfected by the right person, can be absolutely devastating. I wanted it to be violent and painful because sometimes that can be tied into pleasure.

Oh they can be devastatingly exhilarating and take you to unknown places, that's true. Not a fan of violence and pain though, but appreciate some think differently. Pleasure comes in different forms :)

Interesting in that you have burried female orgasm in this rather 'Hammer House of Horror' like flowing little free verse in which the protagonist entreets her lover to teach her.

I'm glad you understood what I was getting at, I was hoping people would understand the meaning behind it.
