I Must be a Mental Masochist
Hit me again.
Smack me in the face
with your smirks and disdain.
I love it.
Stab me deep to my trace of a soul
and make me scream.
[Just another one.]
I want to hear it again,
how I'm only useful for one thing,
that in this medium alone
I can move you.
Crush me with the weight of your judgements
and scrape
those rusting, burning memories across my chest
to draw blood from where it matters most.
Go on.
Shove your rigid views of my mind
down my throat and watch me writhe
breathless - defenseless.
Lick my wounds slowly,
so I can soak in the sting
as you wrap your icy fingers of indifference
around my neck, and squeeze
just hard enough for me
to see who is free.
Somehow I keep finding myself
wasted
on my knees
begging for more.

On the edge
This was on the edge of being really hot and really sinister and together, the two were an amazing combination that you mixed so well. This was brilliant:
"as you wrap your icy fingers of indifference
around my neck, and squeeze
just hard enough for me
to see who is free"
and oh so sexy. Well done. I think you should edit your profile. You don't give yourself enough credit. ~PTM

aaah! you're too kind. that's my favourite part as well, so thank you for 'getting' it. i didn't think it was sexy enough for erotic, but i'm not through with it yet.
definitely appreciate your reads and feedback, thanks again. [:

Your vocabulary...

might bring renaissance and I think that one comment is sufficient enough to highlight my feelings for the poem.

re: Your vocabulary...
your comment is so uplifting, Anando! i tend to repeat myself, so writing with time to think opens up my vocabulary from the way i normally speak. thank you for noticing, and for not thinking i sound too pretentious or the opposite! [:

A disturbing mix of violence and sexuality, conveyed with panache. This line was incredible: "that in this medium alone/I can move you." Such a powerful insight. And your rhythm is very assured. This flows like water at times.

re: Comment
yay! thank you, Jack! "panache", you're such a thoughtful commenter; i wish i could explain so eloquently what i felt from others' poetry.

haha, thanks, i think! yeah, this one is pretty rough...it describes a lot of mixed emotions and results of emotions that the narrator is supposed to have. thank you so much for the read and the comment! always appreciate feedback. [:

I love the dark, S&M quality to this. "that in this medium alone / I can move you" floored me--it was so unexpected & honest. I agree with some of the others~you don't give yourself enough credit in your profile.

i read your "chronicles" and was pretty floored myself! this did come from a little bit of anger and sarcasm at first, then kind of developed into something else, exactly S&M-ish. thank you so much for your feedback, i'm glad it could move you. personally, i'm looking forward to more of your writes.

'Go on.
Shove your rigid views of my mind
down my throat and watch me writhe
breathless - defenseless.' Those lines are just fabulous, aggressive, consistant. The entire poem makes sense from one line to the next. I think it's brilliant Jestalessa! =]

I am beginning to gain independence in poetry. To think that such things(in the poem)happen.
The poet that can put them down in black and white deserves commendation.
Jestalessa, as a poet, you are good.

lovelovelovelove this! I read it awhile ago and didn't save it; I had no idea how to find it again or who wrote it. "That in this medium I can move you"-God that is great. This poem hits so close to home, you have no idea....
Simply phenomenal dear.

A beautiful contradiction. Intrigued - and yes, captivated beyond any more words..
