Another re-write... well, it helps to pass the time! :)) Actually, a new semester has just started, so I am up to my eyes... K xx

TOTAL MELTDOWN

Taut, supple skin
yielding at full stretch;
breathing only
through moistened pores.

Blood-engorged heart,
pounding ears and throat.
My brain a clenched fist
of light inert helium,
pressured within its
blown-balloon shell...

I am the skin
of a tightened drum
vibrating within
the timpani
of erotic love.

My senses tentacled antennae,
astral receptors moonwalking,
tasting the salt
of a breathless aura.
Blind vision burns,
waxing my eyes aflame.

I am ready:

Touch me now
and I shall melt
sacred as communion
upon your tongue;

Taste me
and I will explode
a creative Big Bang;

Heaven's breadth within
the compass of your fingers
as we fuse together
wholly.
