I.

Like an unknown element

of the supernatural,

a mystery of nature…

this cannot be explained

I try to reason,

but the force -

the power -

the wonder -

shakes me up

like percussion under skin

Under influence

Of a small earthquake,

I sway and stumble

Reaching out

As my heart rumbles

In distant thunder

Boom..the heat

Boom…the beat

Pulsations under skin

My flesh tingles

As thoughts of you

Weave a tapestry within.

II.

You

have made

every single cell

call out in boundless

electricity…

Even the membranes

between them

are alight

with tiny stars.

You

have placed wires

beneath my skin

and flipped the switch,

releasing fireworks

where not even

the smallest of flames

burned before.

Now

as I stand in the

black cloak of night

You can see me from afar;

For I am illuminated

from within.

I send smoke signals,

arcs of light,

as I imagine

skin on skin.

III.

My heart

beats sparks

My blood

rushes in ripples

of liquid fire…

the scent of basalt

and obsidian

in the air.

The scent of my own desire

Makes me slick,

Runs like lava

Between my thighs.

I am a-blaze

in a sea of flames

as lava fuels

this vessel

that is my body

And I allow my soul

To rise up

Across oceans

Across mountains…

Rise up

And fly…

I am spiraling

In the cool night air

to meet you

for a quick dance

of explosion

Here, back on earth

a luminescent

fever shakes

my molecules

to the core.

I curl into myself,

Hold my knees,

Float like an embryo

When I am ready,

I unfurl

Reach up

And out.

Take that glow into

My own hands

Cast it

Into air

Like a beacon.
