Your electric lips Powered mine In a rhythm unbeknownst To me; And this fire So named Desire Was given power Over me.
You moved like a storm Trapped by flesh, A slave to jerky mindless steps, Earthbound and dry; And I watched your eyes, A dark, churning sea, Hum with a vibrant, pulsing Life.
I watched your hair Dance in the wind A frantic tango with sea And sky; And I imagined the jolt Of an electric kiss With lips that would send me Shocked sky-high.
But I thought of myself Powered from within Strung up like the stars – Or neon lights; And the image of me Powered by passion Was enough to make me Afraid of heights.
