Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Hit me Punch me in the face Kick me if you must I need to feel your pain I need to know Understand Where you have been For with your gentle touch I have been unaware of the depth of your pain When you kiss me bite my lip Let my blood pulsate with understanding I will scream out the words you are unable to articulate Let me push into the centre of your need Until we both find release Use your nails Dig into my back I am strong enough I will not be broken by your need Do not be afraid of black ink Or metaphorical anger Hit me Pound upon my chest Until both our hearts feel Convulse with pleasured realization No rules or limitations Digress to primal urges Find your earlier self Until you are lost Until Until You are fully spent Exhausted Consolable For I am not afraid I am willing Yes I am able To take Your worst and "your best shot" If only you are brave enough To let me absorb your pain! For Casarah's Triple Threat contest Written June 23rd. Note: this poem does not advocate violence, it is a fantasy piece.

It is also metaphorical and VERY well done, Richard. You are such a superb writer of free verse. I think this is the kind of poetry I like best from you. Sorry I can't take a lot more time to see other poems of my friends while I am at my in-laws. I appreciate you seeing my poetry too.

Awesome write, Richard...it really packs a punch! I feel the intensity of passion and pain...I'm working on the same theme, but I'm filling my waste basket with drafts...can't get it right. Best wishes in the contest. Hugs, Rhonda

I'm sure Cas will love this. It's right up her alley. This is a very powerful write. I loved some of the lines....the one about the bite on the lip got me.....very...disturbing but easy to relate to...for me, anyway. I'm more of a...intensity is better type of person.

Thanks Gary, I wasn't sure if this one would be a bit to risqué for the soup.
