The heated midday sun is cool compared to her now
As words transform her quiet day
Into a raging pool of need and want
She so succumbs to the overpowering lust of sensuality
As her discretion is cast aside

Her heart and body tremble
As a quake, undeniable to all,
Takes her to the apex of poet’s mountain
And back again
Returning her to her world
And to the next poem to read
