In an igloo made of asbestos and chicken-wire.
disclaimer: I am SO NOT a necrophiliac, lol...I just wanted to see if I could write something like this which is still erotic as much as it's disturbing. Constructive criticism is very welcome!

I knew you liked me, I could tell. I knew from the way you looked at me, with those big black eyes, shiny black pools that I could gaze into forever. You hadn't been asleep long then, you were scared that you'd lose your connection with us. But I knew better...I knew you were special, that you'd hold on no matter what.

I remember the first time I touched your hair, and I marvelled at how soft it was, how light. I wanted to stroke your hair forever, I knew you enjoyed that. I knew it made you feel safe to have someone touch you.

The touch of your skin...I apologise because I know this is vulgar and you're better than this, but straight away it gave me a hard-on. That cold tightness...I remember the first time I saw you naked and ran my fingers along your skin from behind your ears to your neck and across your breast; I thought you would like it if I played with your nipple, I saw that in a movie...but you didn't. I learned to touch you the way you like it, I learned the parts of you that you wanted me to touch.

The inside of your elbow and the back of your knee and the soft pads of the soles of your feet. These are the places I learned to love, these are the places you loved me to learn. I remember the first time my tongue met your navel, and the icy chill that set cold fire to me...your indulgent wide-eyed staring at the ceiling while my mouth kissed every part of you. My mind running wild with possibility and with devotion to you while you played me to make me love you more.

I worshipped you then. There is no inch of your body I have not met with my tongue or my fingers or any other part of me. You drove me wild then with your detached affection, the exotic blue sheen of your flesh. You became a goddess to me then, and I worshipped you with everything I had.

...I suppose you have tired of me. Your arms are purple now and bloated, and your exotic black eyes shallow and sunken. I'm sorry that I could not keep you, but I know this is for the best. I know you are meant for better than me, and it will be a long time before I know the pleasures you have earned. I want to thank you for letting me be your supplicant. I want you to know that your place is always reserved in my heart, and the smell of meat will always bring me back to you.

I love you for what you have given me.
 
i really, really like this... as far as i'm can say, well done :)

i must say tho, it does sound inspired... does it represent any truth about you, metaphorically perhaps?(if I may ask :P )
 
I dunno raz... the buildup was ok, but the last paragraph just made me giggle really ;)

It was a little too cheesy for me to find erotic in any sense.
 
Yeah I wouldn't say I found it erotic, and I agree that there are sprinkles of cheesyness... BUT I think the concept could be developed into a great piece. Perhaps you should change the title, and make the "necrophilic" aspect an unexpected twist at the end (but with subtle hints throughout). That might be one way of pulling it off, but I'm sure there are others.

Of course it's no surprise that there are some very deft lines. I especially liked this passage:

The inside of your elbow and the back of your knee and the soft pads of the soles of your feet. These are the places I learned to love, these are the places you loved me to learn. I remember the first time my tongue met your navel, and the icy chill that set cold fire to me...

Although even with this, I think maybe you need to filter out the cliched feel a bit - it's as if you've adopted a romance novel "register" at times, whereas I think you'd be better off keeping it plain, natural, but playful... a style we all know you can pull off very well. :)

This line is interesting (the idea could be developed some more):

I thought you would like it if I played with your nipple, I saw that in a movie...but you didn't.

And this one I think you could play with a bit - maybe you could list "everything you had" (it needn't be a long list)? ;)

You became a goddess to me then, and I worshipped you with everything I had.
 
Thanks for the commentage peeps!

I think 'erotic' was probably the wrong word in retrospect...I'm not sure how to really describe the effect I was going for, but erotic isn't it; I think I wanted it more to be creepy not in an out-and-out shocking way, but in a more understated way. If that makes sense. It is 5am and I've been up all night so apologies if I am not making loads of sense. :)

I think I will rework it a bit, maybe make it a bit longer - it might not come off so cheesy if I take more space to develop.

I'm glad you liked that line about the nipple Wordy...I wanted to chuck something in there which shows that he does think of her as an entity in her own right, not just any ol' dead body.. ;)

Hmm, that's an interesting question...

I was kind of surprised that it came out as a guy and a woman to be honest (not that it says anywhere the narrator's a guy, but I definitely see him as male)...if Death has a personification, it seems natural to me that it would present itself as female - I can probably blame that one on reading too many comics growing up (both Marvel and DC Comics' Death characters are female).

I don't think it represents anything about me specifically - it was more of a challenge to myself to see if I could get in the head of a character so foreign to my experience...

I will repost if I manage to tweak it some - thanks again for replies everyone! :D
 
I'll be back.

I am not body, or vital breath,
or sense, or thought, or anything else;
for I am the unique observer,
I am .... I am ....

Yes, I am ...
I am a stranger to this world,
there is no one with me.
Just as the spume and the waves
are born of the ocean then melt back into it,
so the world is born of me and melts back into me.

--Darshana Upanishad.
