Craven is the Beast Who Cannot Sleep
I can’t sleep.
Craven is the Beast Who Cannot Sleep belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Blue Room and The Sensual WordI am craven.
I want to pour him down my throat.
I want to lick the bastard clean.
I want to take him.
All of him
like a fork full of confection
running my tongue down its
tines
until it sings to me of some sweet
alien religion
until he moans
whispers
the things he wants to do to me
the again and again and again things.
I hate nights like this
unable to sleep
to think
to eat
curled on my couch
feet tucked
bare
beneath me
I pray for peace from him
from that stark
sharp
cocktail of pain
anything
to gut me out of the
reverie of him.
No sleep for me
tonight
where he insists on staying
a black inky sketch
lasered to the inside of
my eyelids
Tonight there
exists
a pool in my heart
pumping out
a fountain of need
which each beat
spelling his name
in lust, in my throat
wanting to spit it all out
across his chest
tell him all my secrets
Tonight
just tonight
I want him to practice on me
anything
as long as its borders are black
and his insides smoke
me clean
I want nothing but the stinging welts
of him
to blossom through me
I want him in the dark
the utter darkest dark
until we are nothing
but noise
slapping flesh
grunts
teeth, knuckles
bone
scorching
flattened
slick friction
hinges exploding
breath
hot
sweating
burning through sound
he has no idea
none
how ripe my universe is
how I am this…
willing creature
this…tabula rosa
ready for him
to put his hands on me
anywhere
on me.
I am sacrifice.
I am an infinite tapestry
bolts and bolts and bolts
of need
untie me
roll me out
I am meant to be touched.

wherever he is my love, a tree near him just combusted into flame, a star burn itself to dust in the sky, a bed of flowers shriveled to black bouquets in the heat of you insomina… he might have no idea… but when you set these words free, they weave spells you powerhouse lionhearted woman… i gobbled up every word. stunning, as usual. i do love your words, they are an elixir that wakes up my insides. fracking romping fantastic, if you ask me. xxxxxx

No

You make the reader feel like sweat between the bodies
And damn but reading the comments on your genius is almost as good as reading what you wrote – Holly so nailed it!
mstrace replied
geoff – oh god. I love that. pantinginsomniamadness
ooooooh, I like that.
and I’d be lyin’ if I didn’t admit that yes, while my brain thinks the way I write – I do write in a way that I hope the reader can actually see/feel what I’m saying.
thank you my friend.

mstrace replied
hello gorgeous – yeah, don’t you wish some guy would get a clue to all that swallowy, throaty, raw sensuality and pick me up, throw me over his shoulder and in to the nearest cave?

I’m with Jess and Lisa – this is extraordinary writing. How do you do it?! How do you weave such intoxicating rhythms and images…...wonderful; as are you, my girl. x x x

bell – you’re being too kind this evening (or it is morning for you??)
I indeed haven’t been sleeping well AT ALL these last few nights. And oh gawd Bell, the dreams!! they wake me up every hour. every. single. hour.
so writing helps. a bit.

i can’t believe i haven’t crossed paths with you before this. i can’t wait to devour more of your writing, it’s delicious.
mstrace replied
WOW. Shadow…that’s a wonderful compliment. Please then devour away.
greeneyedlady
i agree with Geoff…..i do so feel like the sweat between the bodies after reading this…..it pulled emotional threads from deep inside of me and whispered, “remember?” everyone can relate to this on some level….....your writing is ….mindblowing…...
mstrace replied
greeneye…been away from the bubble from a few days traveling, but the delay was SO worth it to read this comment. You just made my toes tingle!!
nnimus3

mstrace replied

I gotta say this part is brilliant, it’s so raw and quick. I could smell it and taste it. I’ve never read anything like this before. It’s like….a sexual massacre! haha! I don’t know if that makes sense.
But I agree with greeneyedlady. Your writing is mindblowing!
