A Trespass into the Abyss

eyes meet, the intimate adore
face to face, lips gently brush 
desire delivered in the click of a lock
hands clutched around your neck
the shock, the tightening hold
a gripping strength, a slow squeeze
the mind dazed, the hunt to breathe 
hardwired impulse, the raw surging force
reaching, touching, clawing a hands grip 
the steadfast capture, enforcing an iron reap
the heat and hiss of a monster, slices in your ear
tears fall for God’s wretched care
dry upon your cheek, the final kiss 
the silent suffocation, an impression so sincere

pain defends the will to see and breathe clear 
aware adorns the eyes, in pictures of reminisce
the danger of your kiss, the pace in your violent embrace 
the power of your stare, hands fast on my neck
viselike is the hold, so I can feel reborn
to stand on the furthest edge
and trespass into the abyss

planted deep, thriving sweet
growing, entangled in a reach
extending into many more 
beneath a shallow surface
there is no abyss, I am the abyss 
the abyss resides inside me
flourishing in the darkness

Wonderful use of words and thoughts. I'm a fan of myth and tale. You made me wish to read and know more. The abyss. A open door for a epic tale. Thank you my friend for sharing the outstanding tale.

Liked it!

Actually, this is a sexually charged read for me. Breath play is a wonderful form of Domination. ;)
It's really a wonderful piece, though.

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

This is actually about violence. The only human touch a girl knew was the attempt to strangle her, she survived and know she craves for it again because it is the only human effect-ion she knows.
I do appreciate your reviews and I am happy you get my sick little twist. Thank you

One girl's twist, is another man's candy.

we certainly can be our own worst enemies. this is one of my favorites of yours i think. it struck a deep chord in me with a theme i often write about. the tight, strong wording is powerfully effective. pics complement nicely as usual. an all-around impeccable write.

“Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.” - Thoreau

Hey Pete, I am flattered as always from your kind and confident words. I am inspired by all the different interpretations that have come from this Poem. I wrote this about violence and abuse, I left the lines uncommitted hoping the reader would draw from a unique expereince. Thank you for the amazing review and sharing your beautiful personal touch.

For some reason the voice I read this in was quite peculiar, nonetheless, I quite enjoyed this piece of writing. Thanks for sharing!

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

I attempted to write the first part of the poem as if it were happening to you the reader, the second part we enter my mind. A dark place of abuse, and how it can trick us to want the human touch even if it is violent. Thank you for reading and leaving a review.

yes, for how long can we look into the abyss, and have it not become us or we become it?

It's even good writing to boot.

None the less, you might be an unregistered sex offender.

Mr. Cat in a Basket, a single word can has the power to visually stimulate the readers mind. Imagery and emotionally relate able words can inspire the reader visually and relate able in a unique experience to them. Every reader may draw a different meaning from these words.
With that in mind, Mr. Cat in a Basket I say it is you that is the Pervert my poem had nothing to do with sex. I love your review and your picture is charming. Thank you for taking the time to read and leaving an inspiring review.
