summery strum
jangly notes bounce
through air
smooth cold lick
strawberry ice-cream
dripping
pale curves
where a bikini lived
your legs shimmer
bronzed sunset
wind warbles
blonde hair
a reckless shiver
sun hits skin
with a blizzard of kisses
touch me
you taste of something
succulent
something you shouldn’t have
all in one go
magnetic electric physical
consonants fluid
like warm water
hands a slippery murmur
around your waist
an us
not an I
we are rapid fire
a hot knot
of carbon and calcium
our lips
mouths
moment
present

Written: September 2015.
Explanation: A poem written in my own time - the layout was originally more unconventional. The piece is about nobody in particular, but rather a fictional couple who, for want of a better phrase, can't keep their hands off from one another. I very much wanted to capture the intensity of a relationship that is passionate and strong. The title does not really relate to the poem, but is a lyric from Taylor Swift's song 'Bad Blood' - I was listening to the Ryan Adams version when I came up with the idea for the piece, and starting writing the first few lines. All feedback welcome. A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my HP home page.
NOTE: Many of my older pieces will be removed from HP in the coming months.
