#tactile
Wind hitting hard, burning hot, and shifting the floor. The soft sand, orange and warm, underneath my feet. Through this vast desert I walk, trying not to burn on a land where nothing's cold. With this playful wind, the sand creates and dissolves intricate patterns, and I can't help but dance along. Slow steps, just the tip, gliding upon this ever-changing sweet and soft ballroom.

verbosity is my carnal sin, never use one word when ten bare suffices, language is the best tool for seduction yes, fingers are useful, tongues multi-purposed, eyes can flutter, tho silent only, the round and the serpentine curves are the inspiring arch of a cathedral, but all are in service to the ultimate truth: seduction is the art of the spoken, magic spells can use a wand, but to make love, to transit love, accept grace fully and great fully, to its delicious surrender, be persuaded, surrender, given into, gifted up, the sounds of the voice issuing its desires out loud, and the words of complete you need to be child~like, a grown up needs reminding: use your words! the words of atomic bomb duress, capitulate give in give (oneself) up yield concede submit climb down give way defer acquiesce back down cave in relent succumb quit crumble be beaten be overcome be overwhelmed fall victim, close down one's arms( raise/show the white flag throw in the towel/sponge accept total retreat concede defeat, yield, crumble, give in, cave in and up, be a~swayed forfeit the attraction of self-immolation , open your arms to my words surrender to my surrendering, this vow, spoken, crushes the will to resist, even a hey! a warning shot across the bow, attention must be paid…now, go practice in the nearest full length mirror…

!Not! Almost: Language itself becomes tactile, alive
The surface remains intact. The heart remains intact. Each culminating inch of frame and cell, Vowed upon and burnt through to the cinder, Is now frozen, ashen mass. Yet, the mere image is once again— It is truly built upon— And, even with no ember, remains intact.

It Is Intact?
Lightning. Brutally shocking, burning, destroying. A sudden flash, out of nowhere with striking speed and power. Then thunder. A rumble, low, distant, and spine-tingling; a hovering fear, a looming threat. Or a crackle-- fierce, sharp, wild, unpredictable. A jolt. A deafening, heat-stopping jolt. Not just near you, but inside you. Burning in your chest, pulsing through your blood, freezing on your skin, screaming in your mind. It ends, but it doesn't leave. It remains, hovering in the air and burned into your soul. It echoes. It fades, but it remains.

Lightening
The cold bites my nose And the frost chills my lungs And the wind is stinging my face. But outside in this moment I'd rather be here than in any more comfortable place.

Cold Air
I do know lip-reading But that smile Demands for tactile

Play Blind
We all have demons mine just so happen to have FACES and LUNGS and HANDS. An eye watches me disembodied floating a little way from my face. I can feel something living in my neck, and it curls around my spine, unsettled. THE EYES THAT LIVE IN MY SCALP blink, constantly blink. it aches. they blink together to some unknown metronome. I try to ignore THE HANDS that grab at my head and shoulders, gripping the sides of my head, pressing into my temples. My demons loom over me and BREATHE, Cold gusts, So cold.. I tremble in fear of the man who travels through dreams and wonder how much HE KNOWS and wonder if HE CAN SEE ME now and is he GOD or DEVIL? for now he is my DEMON and on the back of my neck I feel his EYES.

EYES
The starry lit clouds shy and shinny captured on the nearby cherry tree branches reflected your Apollo locks glitter you pressed me on a barren trunk your torso became a burning tree trying to cool in a pond full of lava Your tongue played rose~tit mary magic ~on white satin hills. My back hurt a bit, scratched, the blouse finger blown, open. And then. . . the real tempo started to begin. . .

And then. . .
Your touch closes my eyes I let your words traumatise my mind Your breath dampens my skin, Provoking apocalyptic thoughts from within The trickle of your touch Is eating at my mind, I keep your desires fed, Thirst and hatred intertwined Disrupting my insides My lips escape discordant harmonies, As in you I confide, That the truth's foreign to my eyes You remain my fixation A sinister hallucination Occurrences of formination Are my self-rehabilitation
