Subdued

cut
by my own hand
striated
flesh open
heart beating
only for u
my love written
in blood

ur eyes
fixed on mine
burning
thru to my soul

the torture,
agony
and ecstasy,
polarities married
eternally vying
for supremacy,
energies
uncontrolled

i prepared
(in vain) tonight
determined to win
my attack premeditated
but you deflected every arrow
and flicked every dart
with a knowing smile u fixed
ur gaze on my wound
my house burned
its treasure revealed,
like a thief u stole my
jewels
and cast me down

paralysed like a sparrow
u struck like cobra
and pumped ur sweet venom
into my body,
vanquished i swooned
in surrender

like a wild barbarian,
Mongol warrior
u showed no mercy
u ravaged
every secret place in my city,
u stole everything
body mind soul
and being

trembling i capitulated,
conquered i acquiesced to
ur forceful advance,
ravaged
i am once again
ur slave
