Claimed
Laying in bed my body
Held tight to His
As we drift off to sleep
His warm breath soft on my back
His arm draped over my side
Pulling me in close to Him
Just as sleep claims me
He slides His hand
Between my legs
His fingers entering me
As He bites my shoulder
Waking me with the pleasure and pain
Pulling me closer
His hips grind against me
The sounds of His moans fill my ear
This is powerful, but the last two stanzas could become even more powerful if you remove the "ing" suffix (I think it is called the gerund) and allow the verbs to be direct and present tense. This does several things: it allows the verbs to be parallel to "slides" in the third stanza and to "bites" in the fourth, therefore making the action more direct and consistent; and it brings attention to each of the actions as a separate part of the process of pleasure. This is a great poem; hence, I make these suggestions---which are not meant as criticism. I never make suggestions on a poem I do not respect, and I respect this poem---and the poet---very much.
