Eat Your Pain

Come, let me eat your pain Point my mind into the vein Storm across the bleak hot sands Crush your scars in my bare hand Trap your nightmares in my breast Lay my shield against your chest Hold my breath for whispered cries Draw your sorrow through my eyes Feel the gravity of grief in you Burn it out through my sinews Press the tears against my chin Stroke the tension from your skin Pant the anger from your lungs Wake your peace with rhythmic tongue Climb your mind up to the light Beckon to euphoric flight

These are Couplets and they read quite well :) Beautifully worded, and quite sensual the same time. Welcome to PoetrySoup.

Cool! Thanks for the feedback. This one just came out as couplets. I might experiment with more interesting structures soon.
