Notes About The Poem

8/28/24 Submitted to the Pick-A-Title, Vol 45- Poetry Contest of Edward Ibeh

Cool Fever

When I see him standing in the doorway
with that luscious grin upon his lips,
I cannot turn away
although I’m feeling flushed
as if a fever has grabbed a hold of me!

I meet his seductive gaze
and hope he cannot see 
that I’m beginning to perspire.
Oh, cool cool fever; it has taken hold again.
How easily his being near me
causes me to sweat.

How can I feel so suddenly the chills
going through my body
while simultaneously 
my temperature is rising?
Hot, hot, hot is his physicality..
Hot-blooded I become just seeing him.
Fever floods my body as I tremble 
with the anticipation of his mere touch.
How ardently he wraps his arms around me.
How fervently he kisses me
in all the places that he knows
I’m wanting to be kissed.
Higher and higher my fever rises.
Only he can bring me what I long for
until at last I shiver 
at the climax of our passion.

The fever subsides
but I know it won’t be long before
cool fever will again catch hold of me!

Luckily, 'All things must pass' and cold-shower remediation keeps the elevator neighborhood from veering off superfluous topics to your aromatic offerings which, mendacity would ascribe to "your lovely dress". A jest (just) request.
