Gaiman's gods
the sea boils and
my eyes roll back in my head,
toil dripping down my thighs
like madness
I reach for
the clotted murk
and wrest new worlds
into existence
for
you
my chest heaves
as you drag me
by my hair
to an altar built
on our verdant nightmare
and leave,
no longer able to
believe.
I am less
without your faith
than I was
when you chained me
down
ripped me open
and left me for the scavengers
for then
I could be reborn
for then
I could cover your
desire
my index finger a ghost
against your smiling lips
as they
formed the word
... again

Love this on several levels -
That it actually stands up quite well, even if the reader has no stinking clue who Gaimen is (I happen to know who is btw)
It stands up beautifully as a homage to his style of writing, and description.
The context speaks to an aspect of "fringe" sexual and intimate thinking in terms of repression I think the "vanilla" community don't quite get. That force, domination, aggressiveness on the part of a lover is NOT always about violence. It is also about "borrowing" someone else's bravery to step over the line into a world you might want to explore, and for reasons maybe even not known to the submissive.
Damn fine read :)

Of course you know who he is Mags. Because you're awesome.
Total sigh of relief that it stands up in both contexts. (Because the subject isn't dependent on the style, and vice versa.)
Thanks for the kickass read/review m'dear, glad you thought it was a damn fine read, Betty
