Intoxication

Words Flowing from your full sensuous lips Cascading and spilling out Over your chocolate flesh As your voice reaches my ear My body tenses up and then relaxes Tingling with anxiety I wish that I could do more Than just hear your voice But I love listening to you speak In my ear, your words roll around and around Sticking inside my head Lingering in my soul Your words satisfy my hunger In a way I never knew words could Hypnotic in their profession They leak down into the pits of my soul I get trapped up in them And let them swallow me entirely As they flow in their seductive melody My mind can’t suppress the urges surging through my body Your words inhibit me from being able to govern my own essence Your words are dominate now This temple has become yours And I will submit whole heartedly to whatever your words may suggest I just want to stay here Engulfed in this flame This blaze that results from the electric heat of your words They’ve conquered me in their mystic sway Leaving me perplexed and baffled, with a divine sensation trailing behind I wish this bliss was eternal But in the back of my mind I know That this kind of feeling can only be temporary, and I hate it I despise the inescapable fact that your voice will, one day, fade away And dissipate into an excluded nothing A hollow abyss Leaving me with only the bittersweet memories Of the enchantment of your voice Only to reminisce over the intoxication of your words
