Getting On to Get Off
Isabelle5

Seductive and secure,
 1
she holds me down
 2
by the wrists,
 3
sometimes joining
 4
fingers,
 5
sometimes paralyzing me
 6
with something
 7
she’s doing
 8
with
 9
teeth and tongue,
 10
preventing me
 11
from helping
 12
with my hands.
 13
 
 
Agony
 14
of a new kind,
 15
part of me wishing,
 16
part of me urging,
 17
all of me waiting
 18
 
 
until she
 19
sits back on her heels,
 20
sly look
 21
of satisfaction
 22
on her face.
 23
 
 
My turn
 24
to restrain
 25
this arrogant
 26
enticing
 27
woman
 28
 
 
and hear
 29
her own
 30
undoing.
 31
 
 
Doing, undoing,
 32
getting on
 33
to get off.

delicious exploration into bdsm ... i especially like the tight, restrained writing ... while the poem flows, the lines are clearly knots. tasty!
 — Bloodfetish

Excellent poem I must say. Your words flow nicely and it really makes you explore and make your mind linger. I really enjoyed your poem
 — Cassie

tie me up, tie me down, baby!

Excellent.  By and large, easy, clear and convincing.  I'd only wonder of "arrogant/enticing" might not feel to judgemental/editorial.  I think both elements are already evident in the poem.  And, of course, I fell for the seduction, so bonus points are awarded.
 — mikkirat

You can almost hear the spanks in lines 24-31.  I love it! I love how "arrogant" is no longer necessarily a negative; rather it's a turn-on. Awesome!
 — unknown

niiiiiice
 — unknown

Could put an image in my mind. How can I write like that?
 — jusmat

 — Isabelle5

impressive, seductive.
 — Kewanee

U HATE MEN obviously.
 — unknown

Who hates men?  Not this poet!  I think men are God's best gift to the Universe.  I'm personally crazy about men!
 — Isabelle5

They obviously don't get it, Isabelle. I don't get how you couldn't understand it, but hey...
 — CantTell

 — unknown

yes.
 — themolly

You dirty bitch
(i'm available on weekends)
 — mr_e

WOW!  I can taste this poem . . .
 — slancho

The power of the last line is compromised by the fact that it's the title of the poem. Other than that, just great. I agree with unknown: "Arrogant" shocks at first and then you see it's meant to be a marvelous trait. Glad to hear you've been having fun.
 — ollylama

This has the ring of fakery about it. Reads like the writeris trying to play a clever trick on the reader,written by someone with a not too fertile imagination who has gone for what is the obvious. It would be great on a website for phony poems ,one should be started because theres enough of them around.Next time try writing real.
 — unknown

phony poems? what's that about?
 — unknown

You might want to ask my boyfriend if it was real or not....*.^
 — Isabelle5

I did. His eyes rolled back, his body went limp...and he smiled...oh, did he smile;)
 — unknown

Very good.
 — cowork

To quote the terrible McDonalds commercials.  I'm lovin' it.
 — slimsoap

Random!   Now I'm hot and sweaty.
 — unknown

the flow is wonderful, I like the short lines. 24-31 are really great lines.
 — imahabit

Random poem?  Nothing random here!
 — unknown

Loved this! Of course had to check out your stuff for being so sweet and commenting on my crap! Pay it forward, right? This is a sexy tight little poem! LOVE L24-31 epecially!

=)
 — warsager

this is quite sexy
i have no suggestions for
this one, just kudos.
 — megabyte

How terrifically interesting Yawn Yawn
 — larrylark

Someone is writing about playing Twister again.
 — unknown

we have the same taste
 — unknown

this sucked.  like a bad lay, with a fake orgasm thrown in for good, premeditated measure. blah
 — unknown

Last unknown comment, not very helpful.  I can see why you know so much about bad lays and faked orgasms, if this is how helpful you are with poetry!  

In my poems, women on fake it if they want to, not because they need to.  Sorry about YOUR fantasies!  lol
 — Isabelle5

Loved.
Lines 14-18 seem a bit weaker to me.
This is stunning. Damn you Isabelle. Now I'm horny. Well done :D
 — WordsAndMe

Delicious
 — haykulu

I like this poem.  This is not meant as a crass comment, but I got physically aroused reading it, which means it must be good.
 — unknown

I like this very much esp. line 24-29. Wow.
 — opal

Agree with the lovely and talented opal.  Lines 24-29 are perfect.
 — unknown

wow. for being such a "sure of himself" critic, maybs you could use a little bit of help for this poem first. just a suggestion...
 — dustybottoms

What help did you have in mind, dustybottoms?  I am sure of nothing but how to punctuate.  I must have left a comment on one of your poems, that's what I'm thinking.
 — Isabelle5

Okay, I see, I didn't like your very first poem posted.  I read it again and still don't get it, sorry.  But that's NOT a reason to leave a comment like this on a poem.
 — Isabelle5

feeling hot hot hot! sexy isabelle :)
 — bohemian

 — unknown

This is a raunchy 'random' poem! Straight into my favs!
