Beaten and Broken

shirtless man with bruises sitting in a rusted cage under moonlight

Can love still speak its name when pain wears its perfume?

Fierce passion,
hunted with pure desire;
your intoxicating scent ensnared.

Honey words
wrapped me in snug warm wool
while your grip tightened around my throat.

You caged me
within purple and blue;
beaten and broken into despair.

—H, kissed by cruelty and clothed in bruises

This poem follows a 3–6–9 syllabic structure – a form inspired by Nikola Tesla’s theory of energy, rhythm and repetition.
