*** love, guilt

there is a feeling

 

warm and tingling and

sweet

when i think about the

way i make you twitch

like your body is made of need

like nothing else is left

 

when i think about your fingers and my flesh

pressing and and

your breath on my lips your

smell

 

there is a feeling

 

it shoots up the centre of my body

from somewhere low

from somewhere base

when i remember opening for you

melting for you and how

you took what i offered

and gave me no

barrier between us

 

there is a feeling

 

all about the warm place

under the bony bit

in the middle of my chest

like my body was only made

to hold my beating heart

and it's about to fail

and i'm not sure where my

limbs are

until my hands find your skin

 

when we are slightly damp

and pressed together

when your kisses start

to mean something different

when you thank me again again when

you see me

 

and then you leave and

 

there is a feeling
