plot twist
The intent was to strap you to an altar,
worship you with lust,
and maybe carve out
your still-beating heart
while fucking
your soul.
The reality is: I'm strapped to your bed,
flayed from the inside,
and you gently press
one damp finger to my lips
and tell me this will
only hurt
everywhere.
While I try to reconcile
the odd turn of events,
inside I'm jumping
up and down,
screaming,
"Yay!"

This is the notorious Betty page!
every. single. word.
The first stanza is built on an image
that has fascinated me. It reminds me
of 'Closer' amongst other things.
[altar made me genuinely happy]
Fucking the soul also stood out in this
setting.
The 2nd stanza ends with a massive jolt
of a sentence. The separation of place and action works very effectively. 'just
everywhere'.
The last two sentences made me guffaw. I heard
a voice from within that said 'yes-she-does-that'.:) It was more like a yeeeey-haw!
[Texan Cowgirl in a crimson jacket..]
That was indeed a twist. Graphic. Almost like
an inside joke.

You are so insightful. I enjoy your reviews. You should be a literary critic. Really. You spend so much time on REALLY reading. That's just awesome.
Thanks for the review, Sumeet.

i agree with Sumeet!
you must be one (little) devil! The first stanza is brilliant. It prepares you for the grand revenge but 'the reality is' that there's a freaking twist in the plot. But it ended with a 'yay' so im very glad about it!
