Le Piquant Hermit Crab Poetry

Do you want to see me sweat? 

Would you like to know how to make 
my heart race?  I blur lipstick lines
with beads of water on a mocktail glass. 
Poetic eyes and a melodic voice
 may get me perspiring profusely. 
Can you take it? 
How hot of a whisper can you handle? 
My promises hit like a Carolina reaper,
still my skin’s moisture is more piquant.
Maybe Mr Right also has a little bite,
if you’re reading this? Please write to me. 
Hot saucy words that make me swoon,
I may get a case of the nerves for a bit,
it’s just the rush of not knowing. 
Would you still like to know how to make 
my heart race?  I’ll weave emotions with 
ink on a cocktail napkin.

So I’ll ask again, 
Do you want to see me sweat?
