[Library] Atomic Coffee

by Nikki Rice

His brash, rash,
itchy, insulated,
scouring pad,
ginger kid face
is the pillow I need
to rest these restless
lips upon

with passion-pressed,
heated and charged,
electrified, radiated
nuclear love

espresso-espresso-
double blend tongue,
roasted and
roasted and roasted again,
dark, rich, hot and boldly
caffeinated dreams
in him,

his nicotine mind
and tar-stained smile,
artist's hand
and shaking legs
of a man I cannot fear

but love and lust;
I'll burst into flames
if his kiss is not soon
mine, alone.

It's just like the title. Quick-witted, memorable as hell and quite a bit of fun. Nice.

Loved the title - on fire from the beginning and brewed with passion all the way through. A fun read.
