Your glacier-blue eyes were oddly warm and
Soft
As you painted keen welts down my spine and across my pelvis,
Your lips marking the supple parts of me so they matched
The fingerprint-bruises blooming like constellations across clavicles and scapulas and ribs.
Your breath was oddly warm and
Heavy
As it skittered across my skin and sent my heart skipping and stuttering.

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow
This poem is suggestive of a relationship that is both passionate and destructive - this feeling is especially enhanced by the last line, where the stuttering heart may be interpreted as either sexual excitement or fear of more abuse, or a curious mixture of both. It seems to me that you captured the link between violence and eroticism in this poem.
Well done, I like this poem very much

Also, I like your Keats quote, even though I don't agree with his sentiment.
