The Masochistic Pumpkin

It penetrates my flesh, I lust for it

To reach the sweet darkness inside

My body. It is stabbing and sliding

In and out of me until it comes

Full circle around my scalp.


Its retreat leaves me longing,

I’m desperate to finally be

Beautiful, if only for tonight.

One night: that’s all I ask.


Keep pushing and pulling, I will not

Cry when painted fingernails gouge

My eyes: first left, then right. Gaze

Into me and want for more.


I’m nearly beautiful as you

deliberate your next artful cut.

Slide in it and draw it slow, sweet

Knife; I crave your loving

Carve this Halloween night.

Fascinating.  The sexual and masochist references, whilst managing to reflect the burning desire of something as lowly as a pumpkin are very well done, in such a few short words.   Our skills lies in the complex plotting and character development of high wordcount novels, and we envy people with this knack of choosing just the right word in poetry.

truben21: It took me a while to get into the flow of this story, but once I did, I was hooked. The female lead step from naivety to siren was a little fast for me, but I guess it needed to be, to move the story along. I can't wait for the next story, with the cliff hanger whetting my appetite.

Moulinnn: The reality of abuse is so grim that sometimes it cannot be comprehended easily through words. But this book does a wonderful job of framing the correct narrative - abuse is not love.
