Excuse Me, I Whispered, and Lit a Match on Your Zipper
Ain't no maybe in the way
I'm all messed up in you
never mind little things
like promises
and rings
ritual virtues that define
who I'm supposed to belong to
My moral standing is lying down
reveling in the weight of you
resisting my writhing
restraining the inferno within
oxygen regulation unrelenting
hoarse demands
bidding me
to burn
slow
The sweat in your eyes
the blood in your veins
are listening to me
hiss and spit
searing heresy
blasphemes upon every deity
dwelling from heaven to hell
You savor every inch
of my sin
broken and free
these sordid desires
salvation in flame
singing flesh
the barely controlled blaze
raging under slick, greedy skin
bursts into wildfire
yielding no escape
from this conflagration
of nails, teeth
molten wet
pounding
need
Licking wounds
that will leave their marks
murmurs and rumbles
of the sated
tang of our transgressions
on my tongue
drunk on temptation
skin plastered to skin
whispering a salty prayer
entreating
please
come
taste my sin
again

Author's Note
Thought I'd add my first audio/video to this one, honoring a very old request. The video's a bit silly. Hope you enjoy the reading. :-)

Why thank you! I really fucking appreciate that! And the reading list entry. :-) I blinked and there it was. Nice confidence booster, that.

I like it I can really feel it, it may seem a bit choppy and broken though that has an effect in itself.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I enjoyed playing with the imagery and trying to make it all work.
I must confess to not having depth of knowledge when it comes to NIN, but a friend shared this song with me, and it lit a spark. I've never listened to Downward Spiral, though I'm familiar with Closer and Hurt. I'll have to take time to listen to the whole album soon.
I so appreciate you taking the time to comment on this. :-)

If that is not one of the best fucking titles I’ve ever read then strike me down with a 10inch Dildo and call me Geoff!!!

Thanks, mate. Titles aren't usually my strong suit, and I typically go with shorter ones, but this one just came to me somehow... funny how that happens, eh? Glad it caught your eye.
Totally forgot I had a request to record this one. (comment above yours) Maybe I ought to get around to that one of these days :-)

Oh, but I can, it's been a couple of years, and they've given up and gone away :D

I love love LOVE stumbling onto this spoken word! It felt like I was taking a Master Class!
Lady, I tell you what.... you bring it. With every word, syllable and pause. I was there for each line, each moment, delivered.
Just one helluva an awesome spoken word performance, PS.
Thinking about you and hope you are doing well. Give my best to Gaps. It isn't the same without you guys and Betty, too...
Oh how easy they flutter in, only to flutter out ;)
I only joke, I definitely get the nature of DUP and I cherish the time I had. I am thankful for the work that was left... I like have the option to sometimes reread the poems; have fun wishing I was that talented!! ;p
Thanks again for leaving this golden nugget of spoken word... I feel like I found a treasure!
Much love and appreciation,
🌹 💙

This was unexpected, and much appreciated! Such lovely praise, I hardly know how to say thank you :-)
If you haven't found or listened to Missy's (Northern Soul) readings, those are a real treat. Her spoken word videos are excellent.
Thanks again!
