Passion

Passion-

Endlessly

Carefully

Maddeningly

There.

On the outskirts,

Your words touching

Something soft and

Tender inside.

Or right on the surface,

Gripping me

With painful intensity,

Almost forcing confrontation.

Everything that's me

Cries out for that touch

And when it comes…

The dam bursts.

Your body is…

Like a poem

I could read

With my fingers.

A delightful surprise

Of plains and angles-

Translating into art,

War, and vibrant.

It was a revelation,

A discovery, a finding,

That I was still…

Awake and alive.

My lungs fill

And my breath catches,

Heart stuttering,

Senses on fire.

Intoxicants-

Your gaze

Your scent

Your taste.

Hunger

Overwhelming

All- consuming

Exciting.

Passion.
