You Smell Just Like Desire

by Dan Linn

I've been taking way too many frigid showers,
from the heady bouquet of your fragrant flowers
from feeling fucking ferocious familiar fire,
glory be to goddess, you smell just like desire.

It always happens when you come too close,
the cloud you carry can just curl my toes,
I am free falling fully from your pyre to fryer,
'dammit to hell, honey, you smell just like desire.

Intoxicating, tempting, waves enveloping me,
your scent drives me climbing that hard nut tree,
you know what you are doing it is plain to see,
I flash like campfire kindling near your honey bee.

Problem here is sadly that I just can't think
dry as deepest desert and I need a drink,
I'm cut crawling cruelly under bloody barbed wire,
I can't resist you baby, you smell just like desire.

Now, THAT'S an ending. Awesome write.

Brilliant, aching, sexy write-I imagine a warm, rumble-y voice with just a little break in it and am thoroughly drawn in...and that's just what you mean, isn't it, poet-man? Thank you....lk

Aha! I love it. All of it. It rollicks along with a punch at the end of each stanza. I'm enjoying reading this over and over and over, smile on my face.
