Skin
Smooth and ageless like fine silk
Forbidden from my contact
However my fingertips yearn to trace your veins and marks
So unique
Like a fingerprint
Like an Iris
I want
No
I need
I need to feel the soft touch brush against my bare skin
The sparks electrocuting every nerve awake
As if I touch a high voltage power line
So far yet so close
A simple whisper
A simple embrace
That's all I ask
Fingers interlaced with mine
Like the threads of your sweater
That sweater the way it clings to your body
Giving me a perfect outline
How when you reach for something and a corner raises
I get a glimpse at your bare stomach
Its intoxicating
Just seeing it I feel myself warming up
I feel my body come alive
Shaking away the cobwebs
You tease me
And yet you don't know how crazy it makes me
Every brush of a finger
Twirl of hair
Bite of lip
Gleam in eyes
Shy giggle
Random outburst
It takes away a piece everytime
Just a little
Like chipped paint
However soon I'll be exposed
Stark and afraid
Like a newborn child
My willpower peeled away by you
Without it I have nothing to hold back the
beast that wishes to kiss you
To hold you
To explore
So yes I am addicted
You are my drug
But yet you are forbidden
Like the fruit of eden
I can't stop
I can see if I follow down this path I'll find defeat
I don't care
If it means one kiss
Then I'll gladly drown
Drown me in my own ecstasy
Hold my head under
Till my lungs burst
Just look at me while you do it
So I can see your eyes one last time
Just touch my bare skin without shame
So I can feel alive
Even as I'm dying
