Sweet heat

Sweat beads careen along my body like wet diamonds
It's getting hard to distinguish these clothes from my skin
I imagine myself melting
Staining 90 degree concrete with chocolate puddles of my being
The Georgia heat weighing me down like unconfessed sins and grudges held too long
I am still struggling to master the art of forgiveness and
Apparently this heat is much like me cause it is facing the same dilemma

But the heat does forgive.
It is forced to surrender to the cool that night brings just as I surrender to the serenity granted by God
And yet I still melt. Cause although the sun is gone I am still in the presence of heat.

Her.

Sweet heat like spicy barbecue or candied Mexican chiles
She simmers and Draws me in like flowers attract bees with the desire to pollinate

I told her:
I want something sweet that won't leave me wanting something else.

She said:
Have me.

I wonder if I sink my teeth into her would she burst in my mouth like ripe green grapes Overwhelming my taste buds with her sweetness
Or would she burst into flames
Causing me to spontaneously combust

She leaves trails on my skin
Luring me to touch a stove that I know is hot
Willing to get burned if that's what it takes to get close

Its getting hard to distinguish her skin from mine
Her sweat from mine
But her sweetness is unmistakable
I wish I could inject her into my veins like insulin but if I could I'd probably overheat
Cause her sweet and her heat are a package deal
This fire emanates off of her turning my chocolate self into hot cocoa
And we blend into some concoction not offered at Starbucks.

i want you

I want your body intertwined with mine until Two heartbeats form one rhythm I want your eyes, ears, arms, mind, and heart all open; I want you unclothed, exposed and Vulnerable I want you unafraid, unashamed and unapologetic I want lips upon lips upon lips Toes curled, feet arched to match curved back I want you sighing& Moaning, speaking in tongues silently and audibly I want you leaving evidence of your fingerprints on sweat slick skin I want you coming. Repeatedly Us simultaneously sporadically until you spontaneously combust with me I want you fulfilled and yet always hungry for more I want you selfishly Greedily Selflessly Intellectually I want you wise enough to know that we have things to teach to and learn from one another I want you psychically Lines on my palms continued on your hands I want you telekinetically Thoughts from my head continued in your mind I want you craved and crazed Declared insane cause your obsessive compulsion is me I want you heavily medicated so drugged up on this love that you hallucinate and still see me I want you mathematically Algebraically You as my constant the only variable changing is time I want you geometrically The sine to my cosine The perpendicular to my parallel line so that the angle we create is right. I want you poetically Rhythmically stringing together Words just to explain the mundane and make it sound profound I want you in beats staccato, crescendo, fortissimo, in addition to lyrically so let's just just say I want you musically I want you infinitely This desire knows no bounds it is limitless and far too vast to be contained in me so I have no choice but to let it spill all over you I want you wet Soaked in this love and steeped in it like tea I want you with desire all encompassing with complexity and simplicity I want you unafraid, unashamed and unapologetic I want you naked as the day you were born, much more mature but just as fragile I want you unclothed,exposed and vulnerable Eyes, ears, arms, mind, and heart all open I want you all to myself I want you to want me all to yourself I want us submerged in we I want you infinitely This desire knows no bounds it is limitless and far too vast to be contained in me so I want you to understand and if you don't its all good shit I know you don't like math and this is a lot of words to add up so this poetic equation can be simplified down to three words: I want you.
