Bruises are:

Visual and visceral reminders

Random splashes of colour across swathes of white

Souvenirs of violent actions.

Wide bands of blues and purples,

Zebra.

Spots of yellow and black,

Leopard.

Animal prints on flesh showing my baser instincts.

Gifts of sadism,

Eagerly accepted with masochistic delight.

Wanting,

Craving,

More.

 

Today’s poem comes courtesy of a damn good beating by my darling husband and a visiting friend at Miss T’s on Friday and the lingering marks that I’m kinda in love with. For more sexy words check out Masturbation Monday!
