* This was inspired by one of the first short forms I ever wrote *

Image result for beautiful dark angel images

* This is a rather intricate form I created called a “Torridelle” - I hope you enjoy it! * ~ My Angel, fallen ... Gossamer linen, violet lace Window-dressing body, pressing Goddess of unblemished grace Beckoning - urge reckoning Clasp me, push me ... down with you. Close, to see my eyes in yours Heart of darkness, warm and artless Measured with our carnal cores Fallowed - soon, unhallowed Pull me, draw me ... down with you. Savor sweet, your taste is mine Greedy swallows, fill my hollows Faultless form, engorged supine Whetted - blade unfettered Cut me, rend me ... down with you. Pity, fawn to take me in I, the frozen quarry chosen Bartered virtue, ceded sin Merging - madness surging Gather me, wrench me ... down with you. Each dynamic sates a thirst A darkened oath devours both Raptured screams yet unrehearsed Spasm - plunging chasm Drench me, drown me ... down with you. Painted nails to flay my frame Stripes of lust, a jealous trust Lesions roused for fervor's flame Unversed - do your worst Stain me, rake me ... down with you. Feral places, once denied Cognate parts to blackened hearts Souls and selves we can't divide Twisted - double-fisted Grind me, burn me ... down with you. Sing to me a siren's wail Rip the rhyme from all sublime Watch the frenzied portions flail Disguised - hell, improvised Smite me, drag me ... down with you. All in, My Angel ... fallen So sweetly, and So deeply Down. With. You. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the Poetry Soup "Wow Me" Poetry Contest, Nina Parmenter, Judge & Sponsor.

I remember this one, you made some changes right. Still a great write, I always enjoy the internal rhyme, it's a great poetic device, somehow I think I like the other version better, but this one will still win!
