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.
