Your Pain into Pleasure

A poem on the pleasure in pain...

The tip of a blade
Running across the chest
The red ruby of life
Welling from the skin
Like a red pen across
The surface of paper,

The echoing moan
Escaping from the gag
A testimony of pain
Rebounding off hard walls
Like the sight
Of a bat in a dark cave,

The taste of sweat
Dripping from the face
The salty tang of fear
Oozing from pores
Like a cool spray
From the ocean breeze,

The look of lust
Reflected from blue eyes
A contradiction of pain
Emanating in waves
Like the softly seductive
Feel of cashmere.
