She
The sunrise
I, stalled at midnight
I found my oasis
In the desert of my sojourn
She
A feather in a hurricane
An overlooked priceless treasure
A discouraged road traveler
Seeking her guide and companion
She
Holds me as I fall apart
Broken, defective, destroyed
Then piece by piece
Quietly hands remnants back to me
Nourishing helper, lovingly rebuilding
What was callously discarded
She
Consumes my cancer
Absolving the aching ugliness
Fills my emptiness
Touches places inside me
I didn’t know could feel
She
Masters my inner beast
Calming the storm
Shackling the monster
Staving off the demons
Centering my soul
Yet she
Silently encourages me with just a look
Intentionally unleashing the beast inside, I give in
As she opens and surrenders to me
Begging me without a word
I pin her to the wall by the throat
Naked and vulnerable, tits quivering
And fuck her into oblivion
She
Bandages my heart with her body
Brings me to tears for all the right reasons
Injects light into my dark
Hearing words in love songs I never noticed were there
Restores my hope
Maybe love isn’t futile after all
She
I think you can lose the line "piece by piece", it's extraneous, and is a 6th line when most of your stanzas are 5. I also think you could use indentation to help the reader see what is directly tied to the "she" and what isn't.
(Literotica ignores plain indents, so I've used dashes)
The indentation might also help you organise it. IE instead of "shackling" the beast, maybe "shackles" the beast. Then it goes better with She.
I like the use of She, except the very last one.
Here is my edit.
(Qualifier: I'm definitely no poetry expert, this is just what feels better instinctively to me.)
She
The sunrise
..... I, stalled at midnight
.....I found my oasis
..........In the desert of my sojourn
She
A feather in a hurricane
An overlooked priceless treasure
A discouraged road traveler
.....Seeking her guide and companion
She
Holds me as I fall apart
.....Broken, defective, destroyed
Quietly hands remnants back to me
Nourishing helper, lovingly rebuilding
.....What was callously discarded
She
Consumes my cancer
.....Absolving the aching ugliness
Fills my emptiness
Touches places inside me
.....I didn’t know could feel
She
Masters my inner beast
.....Calming the storm
.....Shackling the monster
.....Staving off the demons
Centers my soul
Yet she
Silently encourages me with just a look
.....Intentionally unleashing the beast inside, I give in
Opens and surrenders to me
.....Begging me without a word
Pinned to the wall by the throat
Naked and vulnerable, tits quivering
.....I fuck her into oblivion
She
Bandages my heart with her body
Brings me to tears for all the right reasons
Injects light into my dark
.....Hearing words in love songs I never noticed were there
Restores my hope
Maybe love isn’t futile after all
but much to long and cut the shit, I mean the "she", there is no need.
"Maybe love isn’t futile after all" is a nice line and a good title, cut what ever is not up to that poetic level and make a 10-14 line poem that can be read from beginning to end.
"Consumes my cancer
Absolving the aching ugliness
Fills my emptiness
Touches places inside me
I didn’t know could feel" these lines are terrible
"I pin her to the wall by the throat
Naked and vulnerable, tits quivering
And fuck her into oblivion" but these lines are nicely done, you might add "like a butterfly"
