you hold my gaze fix upon my eyes and lips then back to my eyes 'Do you believe in chaos?' I ask 'No, Babe, I don't' 'That word is just a farce ...' 'Something we created to label the things' 'That are too complex for us to yet understand' I smile - you ask me why 'YOU are chaos', I say 'Sublimely chaotic' raking your fingers through my hair you cup the back of my head pull me toward you, firm and kiss me, letting your hair fall between our mouths I drink you in like salvation, divine lips, tresses, desires, tongues, thoughts swirling like molten madness WE ... are chaos. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "Standard Contest 435" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Sponsor.

Loved this piece. There is a madness to wanton love that intoxicates. This is a testament to that.

Thank you so very much, Eileen, I so appreciate the kind words! You're right ... I think love makes us all a bit crazy at times, and wanton love pushes the extreme. Blessings! :-) <3
