His Maiden (Free verse) by Skamper
he leaned across
the black marble table top
I knew
when did this happen
the skin fell from me
he knew
eyes blackened by nature
secured the knowledge
I thought to shield
he drifted through me
his invasion
was expected and deserved
no matter - I bled anyway
and loved him still
I lay - the black marble
shifting under skin
he strokes
he strays his ugliness
to the pieces left
untouched
eyes burned by devils
released the courage
I thought to bear
he devoured me
his feasting
was lasting and agonising
no matter - I came anyway
and loved him still
