About this ebook
SURRENDER TO THE MUSE OF LOVE AND PAIN.
The Muse of Love and Pain is the bestselling collection of dark poetry by A.X. Salvo inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, Sylvia Plath, and Neil Gaiman.
Blurring the lines of poetry and fiction, Salvo's first collection of poems blends elements of dark fantasy, myth, and horror to deliver a haunting, emotional experience. The Muse of Love and Pain explores themes of obsession, death, and how quickly love can become madness.
A.X. Salvo's writings and art have appeared in USA Today, MISC, Studio Visit Magazine, Bete Noir, The Adroit Journal, and The Anthologist. Salvo is also the recipient of a Vermont Studio Center grant for Poetry.

The Inevitable Pull
EVE
Leaving it an ashen white
I rob the sky of night
To behold the beauty closely
And give this wonder unto you
As I spread sugar
Over your lips
My fingers begin to quiver
Only moments ago a heavy, humid night
Soothed the surface of me
Cupped in my hands
At the mid of my palms
It blazes
The blackness rolls off me
Dripping down my fingers, droplets
Into your mouth
While you drink, thirsty for more
Leaning forward, eyes hungry for sight
I feel your longing for this genesis
Exude out your pores
Now the marvel is inside
Melting, mingling, blending
With the wetness of your
Tongue
Its intense gravity alters your own
A flood of truth
Far too many truths
Clarity pierces your mind like
Fangs
A mad poison burns through a stream
Reality
Brutal and ungodly
Sickens
I kiss
