Instantly I can feel the heat
not like a rush but a pleasant snaking
hits my cheeks and my hands are shaking
brain is at critical overload
hormones surging, thoughts overflowed
Instantly I can feel the beat
your heart like a train storming into my ears
open lips, close eyes, lose all my fears
almost losing my head to this fire
feeling you melt into my skin with desire
Instantly the sensation of falling down
Instantly I clutch you to me to avoid the ground
Delicious Vertigo.

These two poems were written in a sort of game with a friend. We started with an original poem and went back and forth, changing phrases but trying to keep it similar enough to be recognizable. The main point was to entirely change the subject matter without changing much of the sound.
