Click hereAll of this pain and lust my dear
Is just so I can hold you near.
You look to me, one single cry
Escapes your lips, and I know I
Must press until you show no fear.
The poem is quite accomplished in technique. Here is a challenge that few Literotica poets master: composing language that sounds natural and unforced within the constraints of a regular meter and regular rhyme scheme. It's very nicely done here.
.
But the poem's virtues go beyond technique. The situation it describes is interesting and somewhat disturbing--and also a bit of a mystery. I can't help wondering how consensual this BDSM encounter is. The poem's words could be spoken by a decent and responsible guy who's into bondage & domination. Or, conceivably, by some psycho killer. The girl's attitude towards this sexual encounter is not entirely clear.

If you like poems whose meaning is not simple and completely obvious--poems that require and repay a little pondering and savoring--here's a good one. 5*
