The Devouring Element



Your world becomes a dizzy blur-
No time to show surprise.
I grab your arm and spin you round,
And pierce you with my eyes.

They capture you, their ocean blue,
They bind you close to me.
Your hands drop everything they hold,
As weakness strikes your knees.

I hold you up and push you back
Into the wall behind;
I throw my body weight against you,
And look into your mind.

I see it there, your driving lust,
I’ve seen it once before.
I watch it bubble to the top;
Your hot breath begs for more.

My hands begin a slow ascent,
Starting at your thighs.
You feel a tingling ecstasy,
Emitting sultry sighs.

My fingers feel your body heat,
Boiling from below;
They make their way across your chest.
It’s what you want, I know.

A gentle caress along your neck
Brings the right reaction.
You realize, now, my intentions
To bring you satisfaction.

A shiver trickles down your spine,
Anticipation lingers.
Behind your ears becomes a playground
For my feather fingers.

You clench your fists against the urge
To force a faster pace.
I shift my eyes down to your lips,
My palms embrace your face.

Our lips collide like fluffy clouds-
Nature-driven desire;
Our tongues enmesh like solar flares-
Forever-expanding fire.

Sensations flood your every cell,
From back of neck to toes.
Tears of pleasure join beads of sweat,
Upon your skin it glows.

Your mind gives up on consciousness,
Submitting to my game.

Your pulse no longer carries blood,
But this Eternal Flame.



Don L. Waddell, 1996
