foolhardy

by Ginette T Belle

"I can't believe you wanna have me
Been wading through this bucket of lies"

When my aura is blending with the chaos of the city
I am choleric, out of sorts with my skin
My bed like a life-line waiting
For my focus to stagger home

And like clouds parting to reveal a lambent sky
Your sultry lips burn mine to existence
My body cannot even comprehend its fruition
Mind open, head spinning
Aphrodisia potent in my throat

My eyes pop...
I am no longer asleep

Evocative read. I especially like that third stanza: And like clouds parting to reveal a lambent sky Your sultry lips burn mine to existence

Your images are always so strong and filled with emotion. Tremendous lines that force the reader to re-evaluate with every word choice. Great read.
