my heart--like a gong--
resonating
in the cramped chamber of chest space
threatening to throttle me senseless
leaving me vulnerable and helpless
like the dizzying tide sucking at my brain
it's enough to squeeze out a scream
and scrabble for any escape
my skin--seamed and stained--
where your fingers scalded my flesh
these invisible haunts
where you may as well have left fresh paint
to stake your claim
so insistently does the flesh throb
so apparent each caress just from the steam evoked
it's enough to make me drag you down by the throat
and wring out more

 reports, 1d 6h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.
