blow

*****  
 
...to penetrated by a dark myth and leave it and you empty...*  
 
 
I try to blow you out of my mind
 
 
but my mind keeps replaying the way my skin feels under your punishment  
how the pain lingers and turns into something I look forward to  
my tongue tied in knots to match the velvet ties capturing my wrists  
 
I try to blow you out of my heart  
 
yet my heart beats full of your obsession and the private school you started in me  
i recite "i love you and you only" til my tongue is dry and you are sated,  
then i kiss the boots that have tapped against my skin more than once  
 
I try to blow you out of my soul  
 
and still, my soul sighs in couplets, radiant as the sea, in love with your imperfections  
tied to the curtain rod, the rain pelts my skin, your mouth leaves redred roses  
and your hands test me inside and out  
 
I try to blow you out of my life  
 
A halo of of cries appears above my head and you whisper shameful prayers in  
my ears, your fingers and teeth form a hard team upon my breasts that shivers  
me into helplessness  
 
I feel myself slipping        and see your elation  
 
on the slick marble floor you stand over me and light candles around my body  
have me crawl between them, attached to your lead, forced to blow out each candle  
hooded. senses deprived.  your beloved wooded ruler  
 
striking me at shocking intervals...
