velvet skin (another poem)

velvet skin by nio (another one about me being a masochist and wanting my pretty girl to hurt me)

Beneath the pallid moon’s embrace,

He whispered low with trembling breath,

“Mark my neck, a burning trace,

Let death and love entwine with death.”

A cigarette’s cruel kiss alight,

Pressed cruelly where desire bleeds,

The ember carved through silent night,

A brand that stokes forbidden needs.

His lover licked the fiery seam,

Each tongue-stroke traced a dark caress,

An art of pain a twisted dream,

Devotion’s mark in tenderness.

In shadows deep where secrets lie,

Their passion wove a gothic tale

Two souls entwined beneath the sky,

Where love was pain and life grew pale.

Anxiety his ribs did clutch,

Yet in the burn he found release,

A frantic dance of fear and touch

In licking flames, he seized his peace.
