This is so well written. A good poem demands a second and third reading, maybe more. This does. I need to digest it more.
It's good both as poetry and as erotica (especially as a kind of BDSM themed erotica), which is a woefully rare combination. I'm curious about what appear to be the slight indentations--are those intentional?
I really like the end of the poem.
The word "fiending" seemed off to me. Is that slang?
Good poem.
This is extraordinarily good. I generally do not read the erotic poems (as mostly they aren’t). I stumbled on this as the Erotica system flagged it at the top of its ‘recommended list’ – cleverer than I had realised.
It creates a very strong and compelling persona for the speaker and its mix of rational and irrational is exquisite.
Have now read your other poems – which I like – but this I think is the best.
This may not be a love poem but there is love aplenty in there: love of your craft. Each line and word is thoughtful, ultimately conveying a somewhat pertinent message from a talented writer. Never confuse sex with love . . .
I'm not sure what "fiending" means. It does distract me, but I'm a bit of a grammarian perfectionist and thus prone to getting cranky by small mistakes .. No worries though, girl, my work is full of little typos that a fast edit misses and a slower read reveals and yes, I'm too lazy to go back and fix. The readers have been kind enough to ignore mine, so I won't hold your odd word against you when I rate this poem. Well done erotica is so good to find.
Champagne, actually fiending is a word and does apply. Google it. I'm sorry if you are not familiar with it. Really, you should have looked it up before the comment. It is not a typo nor uncommon. Sorry.

I enjoyed this powerfully spoken poem. It has a beautiful feel to it, almost raw, yet not fully. It left me encouraged, creative, and satisfied. Beautiful work.
