Literature Text

A warm hand holds my face,
Even as the other closes around
My throat.

The rope is rough as it
Encircles and ensnares, consuming itself
In a beloved embrace.

Filled with one small desire;
A flame to hold back the
Rapturous delight.

Under the facet’d, inundating night,
Practised hands turn;
Ouroboros rope drawn into fine wire.

A wondrous sensation blooms,
As nerves die.
(A gilded cage the frailty remains.)
Instead of the noose,
I would prefer the wire.
Ahh, I dunno really. But if my cage is a copper wire, is it really all that can hold me back?

While the 4th stanza is interesting, it sticks out a little bit. The whole poem lends itself to cool imagery, which is nice :)
