Description
you coast across my skin like running watertracing back to its source,
finding the lifeblood of a body and
sinking my teeth into the soul lying underneath.
let the rain fall upon us again.
floating in a stream, savoring forbidden touches
and unknown pleasures within the
playground where two lovers romp.
i want to want,
i need to need,
i desire to desire you.
i thirst for you, reach for you always
plaintive cries, shattering the air around us.
moving with the motion of the waves crashing,
flooding through our veins.
a thunderclap, the tempest roars.
fire mixed with ice, cracking fissures,
revealing what lies beneath our skin.
hearts and minds tangling with lips.
souls laid bare as bodies.
take me to the eye of a hurricane with you.
feel the earth tremor underneath our feet.
the current sweeps us under,
until bliss is all that remains.

Peter, I've collected your work and I've enjoyed it before, but this piece is..breathtaking.
i want to want,
i need to need,
i desire to desire you.
i thirst for you, reach for you always
This echos some of my feelings only I would just simply say
'i want to want
i need to need
i thirst for love'

I'll say. Hope your muse has given you lots of... insiration (based on this piece, I'd say he or she has) for your writing.

Interesting mixture of metaphors ... descriptions of the various levels of feeling.
It is always good to feel that way ... and to have someone feel that way about you.
As always, my friend ... a very lovely verbal painting.

*smiles* thank you very kindly, dear. yes, after what i have been through even i am surprised it still springs eternal within me, but one cannot help it when one meets such a kindred soul.

That's a good thing! There's some quote from something, that as long as one person in the world cares, it's enough. Hope is a silly thing. But a good thing, and it knows when it's needed bettter than we know it ourselves...funny how that works.

*chuckles* truer words have not been spoken. and having one person in the world who cares has made all of the difference.
it feels good to come out of the box for once.
