Revelation

The dusk shrouded

My bosom

Inside took I a flux of air

To feel your fragrant hair

As dark as your desire.


Your radiance shone

On my tender breast

Unveiling me.

I was laid etherized upon

Your flame of passion.


Your fingers played gently

And browsed me swiftly.

Your lips murmured into my ears---

Your voice penetrating deep

As if felt the pierce of ten thousand pricks!


Motionless I stood upon

Your flaming lust---

Engulfed by unsaturated thirst.

I wriggled in vain

To survive in the labyrinth.


Mercilessly you opened my heart

To measure its girth

My dissected body kept

Wide, wide open, naked

To bear irrepressible torment.


I watched your 'kind' fingers sewed

My agony with elegance

Never to splatter again.

My insentient senses but were heaved

To die an eternal death!

The poem started with a passionate note but ended with a depressed emotional outburst of a love-torn soul.
some of the metaphors are actually well laid out.However some of the words are rather gruesome. the ordering of the stanzas could have been more thought out.there is a lack of continuity in them.When already the cold eyes have captured the soul and tore the spine then what is the need of surrendering it further to them. Also the 'kind fingers' metaphor somehow doesn't fit.
But overall, the poem has a good flow and the spontaenity is touching.
Bubun, I am sorry to post mortem it. But you asked for it.

Thanks a lot Didi! I was looking forward to it! Yep some words are redundant, may be I can edit the poem! The 'kind fingers' was sarcastically used to heighten the effect. Do you think I should have used 'kind' within the single quote?
