You

Your touch makes me powerless

I collapse like a shooting star

Into glittering shimmering gold dust

And blend into the thin air afar

Your warm skin melts me

Like an ice cube on a sizzling platter

I sublimate into misty steam

And then vanish from reality after

Your lips taste me as if I were

Hot and cold, sweet and spicy

Consuming me all at once

Leaving me parched as a pitcher empty 

As your gentle caresses explore me

The passionate touch gets me carried away

Like an orphaned boat while I calmly meander

The current comes and sweeps me away

You linger behind my shut eyes

And make my heart skip a beat

Leaving me longing for more

Until the next time we rekindle the heat
