Branded Poem by Joshua Fegley

A sensuous sensation,
through burning stimulation;
a predilection for pain,
as hot wax drips like rain.

You're on top,
our bodies never at rest;
as you drip hot wax,
upon my chest.

Lasciviousness thoughts,
in our mind;
baring our teeth,
as they start to grind.

Self-harming,
and passionate sex;
feeling every thrust and burn,
the more we yearn.

With every,
bite and burning sting;
a longing, for what the...
pain may bring.

Hot wax,
is never enough;
from the fire,
you snatch the knife.

Holding the hot blade,
to my skin;
another hidden burn,
a social sin.

Nerves begin to sere,
as the heat draws near;
pain begets more pain;
intense pulses driving to my brain.

Feelings,
are intensified;
as nerves,
are cauterized.

Our hope and love,
and all that we demanded.
Our burns show the world,
that to each other, we are branded.
