IRON MAIDEN

How I dread your immortal gaze

your implacable cold embraceable ways.

 

I have confessed my mortal sin

my love for you is overdue

 

now hold me tight with penetration

as my blood spurts into you.

Thanks you Paul and Suki for your comments. The Iron Maiden was a reputed instrument of torture whose doors opened up to reveal a lining of metal spikes, one example having extra knives that revolved underneath, just to take no chances. It was also known as the Virgin Mary for obvious reasons. An example was used in the film Sleepy Hollow in a dream sequence.

Don't try this at home.

Hi Ray,

Whatever the real story is behind this it sounds painful!

And I've loved reading the banter it has provoked.

Thank you for reading Juan - very glad it hit the spot ! It is incredible how lurid and perverted such inventions were.

Cheers David. It's funny but when I read your assessments I feel you are my guide as if you have scavenged my mind that bit deeper. Spot on - Again you have tumbled my plans for extra marital exploration. I'm reading the Picture of Dorian Gray ; maybe that triggered off the idea.

This is quite graphic..seems like an excerpt of a fiction novel that I probably wouldn't read...I think this poem is lovely though and having encountered Iron Maiden characters elsewhere I can totally relate to this. Great share.
