A Silver Edged Kiss

A Silver Edged Kiss

(Before you start reading I want you to know this poem is of a dark nature and may not be to everyone's taste.)

You sit there in front of me on the table
So still and silent, a voice that never speaks
And yet you call out to me, pleading with me
To just once place you against my skin
And run the shiny silver edge of your blade
Across the smooth flesh of my wrist

I lie here on the table in front of you
Gripped with rapture, yet I can't speak
Just once I wish to caress your soft flesh
And feel the ecstatic thrill of the touch
As my sensuous edge meets your tender wrist
Two lovers entwined in a silver edged kiss

In my room, my enchanted room
I am defenceless against your beckoning
To consummate this marriage between
Your blissful slices and my bloody release
Where only the thoughts of your cutting edge
Lingers in the darkness of my longing
To play with you in my lustful deed

I shiver with anticipation
As you slowly run your finger
Along my finely honed edge
Leaving a slight trace of blood
And teasing me with the taste
As I hunger with a thirst
That is craving to be fed

You feel weightless in my hand
Gleaming in the flickering light
Fear smoldering in anticipation
A soft wet kiss from my bloodied lips
Depression in a desperate embrace
As wet earth to a wild vine
Entangled in suffocation

From where I'm lying here in your hand
I can sense your fear
Yet feel your anticipation as you
Place your lips upon my rigid length
Your bloodied kiss sends me into a swoon
Moments before I slip from your grasp
And fall plummeting to the floor

Whoa!! My Vampiresses!! Dark Ladies of the Night!! This is AWESOME!!! Is this the first collaboration you two have ever worked on? I don't recall ever reading one before. Well, you get two great writers together and the only thing the end result could be is terrific and unexpected. This is both. We are lucky to be able to read the two of you here. One day, I'll have to buy the book! This is spectacular, ladies!! So good to see you guys writing together! ~Rachelle~ The Songbird

What a glimpse into darkness - this is something that twists your insides to taffy to read, yet it is so brilliantly worded you can't stop. I'll give you two credit - when you put yourselves into a piece of writing, there are no holds barred and no visions you two couldn't bring to spellbinding light. This should be narrated by Rod Serling, it's that well done. Dan

Wow, that was a glimpse into darkness with unexpected illumination.... You two are great!! This was one you don't stop reading until it lets go of you. Awesome job! Woody
Silkie			4/19/2002 2:09:55 AM
wowowowowoow!! I didn't expect such a reaction to this piece. (Thanks for getting this posted Janine, I've been hard up for internet time in the last week) I started out with a mental image and only a few words to go with it. Janine hopped right in there and took this to a level I had not even considered. She was wonderful to work with and I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for collaborating with me on this Janine, I can't wait to do it again and thank you all for your wonderful feedback! Silkie

A great collaboration. I enjoyed the poem, the despair, the pain, I enjoy poetry that comes from deep within the belly and slams right onto the page. Really good!

Oh I totally agree. This is some intense writing. Another good collab I have read here on the board. QUOTE I shiver with anticipation As you slowly run your finger Along my finely honed edge Leaving a slight trace of blood And teasing me with the taste As I hunger with a thirst That is craving to be fed I really do like that part, craving to be fed? Yummy! Stephen
Cheyanne			7/11/2005 10:08:42 AM
Every line in this Janine is intense. I think they both used a good word on this "Intense". But I like to add a few more, dramatic and erotic in a dark way. *Cheyanne*
Kathy			7/13/2005 9:04:47 AM
I do not know what I can say that has not already been said. This is a very powerful piece! Not many collabs can turn out this well where both writers can blend this good.

A deadly duologue that rings all too true self mutilation is nothing new and it will last until fashions change or death decides to re arrange the ways that he can advertise an express trip to paradise
Tiffany			1/21/2006 7:36:50 AM
What powerful writing this is. Very erotic! ~Tiff
lhrdina90			1/21/2006 7:39:41 AM
This is so powerful and written with such passion, this was tremendously painful to read for me, felt my throat close and my heart pounding with every word, I have seen that place and pray to never see it again. Very well written and absolutely very well done. Bravo you two, just amazing how it flowed together. Lori
Janine Daniel	janine@spinnys.com	www.spinnys.com	1/22/2006 10:09:55 AM
Thanks Tiffany and Lori for your comments. Erotic Tiffany?....well, maybe just a little bit. ;) Lori, I know it's a hard subject to talk about and awful too. The poem doesn't reflect in any way my personal views on this subject. I was following Silkie's lead who started the topic.
lhrdina90			1/22/2006 10:11:22 AM
NO worries Janine, I think you followed very well and that both you and Silkie, write beautifully together. Lori
Sharon Wilshire			1/22/2006 10:12:50 AM
It certainly kept me entangled in its web. ~Sharon
Tammy			2/1/2006 9:21:57 AM
Oh my.... some pretty serious writing here Janine never knew you had this in you my dear! Damn good to see another side. I love to see variety in writers. I really like the ending, From where I'm lying here in your hand I can sense your fear Yet feel your anticipation as you Place your lips upon my rigid length Your bloodied kiss sends me into a swoon Moments before I slip from your grasp And fall plummeting to the floor Awesome write! ~Tammy
