Black silk
lines your sleep
an eternity
of wanting
captured
A final breath
cascades down
your throat
burning a
heart long dead
with pains
too strong to ignore
Fingers clenched
on the headboard
Nails digging into
the soft wood
Silent screaming
You can see the white
of her eyes
as crimson stains
of delightful agony
end with a shudder
and a loss of control
You rise
She awakens
