Take a number and wait until you're called.

You were all around me
Buzzing like flies on a carcass
Tickling at me like a virus
A contagion with no cure

As hard as I tried
I could not prevent your incessant attacks
Your delicious malice
Now you’re under my skin

I can feel your love crawling
Under my shins, knuckles
Forehead, scalp, arms
Shoulder blades and spine

It feels so delicious
To scratch at it even though
The itch won't go away
Just move to somewhere else

All I wish for now
Is for my heart to capture
The love you have for me
If only to be rid of this aphrodisia

...ahh the torments of passion. I'm seeing an ant-pattern in your writing. I'm wondering whether these are reminiscences? Perhaps of a past life? Thanks for your special way of seeing things. Loved it.

Buddah,

This is great! Good work


And thanks to you too. Again, your book has provided me with not only good reading and pondering but inspiration as well.

Don

First of all,

Thanks for your special way of seeing things. Loved it


Thanks for this. Now, to answer your question, a lot of what I write is based on memories but a lot of it is fiction. Words and wordplay fascinates me and I enjoy writing immensely.

Whip,

Thanks again...

Ditto on this! Lovely Mark! BTW...for a moment there I thought the title was - "Love as Fornication"!!

Serenity,

Love as Fornication


Yeah, I was wondering who might pick up on that... Hmm, trust you

I'd like to say 'Poetry...hmph!"

But I can't. I'll begrudgingly admit it's actually not bad.
