Succor my skin, beloved,
in sizzling drops of musky happenstance.
Lick gauzy flames, sear my bones,
Bathe me in fecund tears of myrrh and exaultation—

gnaw, ravenous, on my transmogrified soul.

I'll dance with you, my firebrand,
Down the whispering well.

There, enrapt, we libertines
Will sing the stars indivisible, you and I,
suckling on voracious delight.

My heart, my drum—
Immortal, beat in me the tattoo of forever.

Yes, the Wraeththu muses have now incited me to write poetry. ::headdesk, covers head with arms::

Don't you dare hide, woman!

I love it. REALLY REALLY.

It would be inappropriate to discuss my reaction to this line in present company.

Thanks, dear; have now finished it. I think it'll be the beginning of the sequel to my current Wraeththu fic; the second novella, which will be from Vaysh's POV, has had the title "Down the Whispering Well" in my head for ages. Now it has a poem to go with it. ;)

Succor my skin, beloved,

You had me right there. I was entangled by your web, that was marvelous. That was all kinds of guh. Now I can go to work happy, I was dreading it, but this made me feel a bit better about it.

My heart, my drum—
Immortal, beat in me the tattoo of forever.

I think I want that on my gravestone. ;p

xxooxxoo

Oh, thank you, sweetie. Just thinking about my harish guys! For two nights in a row now, I've had to get up out of bed to write down a couple of phrases, and today they all came together. I'm so flattered that you like the closing lines; I'm kinda proud of how it turned out.

Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you. I don't write a lot of poetry... just was inspired by the fic(s) I'm working on. I appreciate your taking the time to read it and let me know your thoughts! I just felt like throwing it out there without explanation. ;)

Guh, gorgeous! This is really evocative!

Many thanks! My Wraeththu fanfic inspired it. The writing I'm doing there is far more lush in style than my HP, and it's led to more poetic thoughts of late. Glad you read it!
