Love Strike

Upon shy reach,
His fingers touch mine—
Quickly though, they move away from me… 

I bite his lips,
Crushing his coiling coy
And snatch his hands back onto me

I am a cobra…
I dance to the beat of his anxious worship

Such severe seduction!!! You won't allow his lust to escape your reach Laura..."I dance to the beat of his anxious worship..." that's a sexy bite! This is an image of poised passion that is romantically possessive and erogenously dangerous...the way you integrate the title with the metaphor is sexy smart...I love this poem...J.A.B. A FAV!!!

Now that is one striking write dear poet.....NO PUN INTENDED ! I love the terse writes. Now I'm not knocking anyones writes, but, if ya can say it while your chewing, and hit a home run.....it didn't take long to say it ! *smiles* Believe it or not, at a ball game, and the cameras are roll'n, and everyone in the stands look so bored, ...even though the score is 3 tah 3 in the 11th.....then comes Johnny swing'em ups...Kapow...it took 3 seconds and that balls outtah here ! It took 3 seconds and the crowds are screeming ! That's how I like writing my poetry ! *smiles*...Much love, james
