violets in repose
my violets wilt in the pale light
of your dark demeanor
you cast a shadow the sun can't penetrate
your glare of disapproval
causes me to shrink away
from those i love
lest they see the marks you freshen daily
a grotesque henna tattoo
you make sure never fades;
within your physical theatrics
where you star as a madman
almost nightly
you take pleasure in raping my dreams
before i even close my eyes;
night terrors darken my days
my fear, now your favorite perfume
it arouses your senses
you harden
as i try to silence a scream
it comes out a delicate plea
you know then, i will lie down
& take every inch of your hate
deep within my sacred halls
as you tear into me with vicious assault
i know it will be another vodka sunrise
one shot
to silence the monsters
you released inside my soul
another
to appease the gods
who silently watched as you brutalized
the little girl in me
i take the third shot biting back tears
as i notice with grief
my violets have all died
*this is about a past relationship
an abusive one not to be confused with S/m

Re. violets in repose
your glare of disapproval
causes me to shrink away
from those i love
lest they see the marks you freshen daily
a grotesque henna tattoo
you make sure never fades;
within your physical theatrics
where you star as a madman
almost nightly
My dear poetess ... I stand in awe of both your talent and your courage . I would also like to thank you for the following comment
" this is about a past relationship an abusive one not to be confused with S/m . I appreciate you clarifying this , as many uninform people equate S&m with abuse. On the contrary, S&m is about freedom through the release of pain. What you describe is a coward, someone who is so weak they need to knock someone down in order to feel above them. A Sadist attempts to lift his masochist up beyond her physical restraints, to a realm well beyond the conscious ... together they fly to the heavens.

thank you graciously dearest Wicked One
i'm humbled by the depth of understanding & love you've shown this write..
yes I thought it important to clarify
an abusive relationship shouldn't be confused
with that of the beauty & great trust that is involved
in a S/m relationship..
I cherish your thoughts & visits..

I am so very happy this is of the past, though it clearly still haunts you, my beautiful Dark Angel. Your way with expression never ceases to amaze me and steal my breath away. It's always struck me that violets are difficult to keep alive and to grow. Perhaps you're made of a much stronger flower, beautiful one. I love you, so very much

I can so deeply relate to this and I felt every line within.
So glad it’s in the past, as far in the past as it ever can be anyway.
Big love <3

my love, conversing with you in regards to various subject matter can be painful enough however when you release it, it is ironically breathtaking in it ache and beauty...always one common denominator though...you refuse to be kept held down, for each time one has tried, it only feeds the strength within you...you have taught me so much and I continue to learn from you everyday....
I love you madly, deeply....
yours always & forever
xoxox love Taryn
