You ... Burn fast in me Searing like molten metal in my veins Coursing my flesh with fiery magma, streaming Each breath taken is more oxygen to feed the flames you ignite Bones and marrow scorched with electric ferocity, afire Core, being, skin, extremities, life itself - hot to the touch For your steamy, torrid, id's sake alone, I light Smouldering lava love speeds, leaving carnal chaos in its wake Leveling all in its path with prurience, omnipotent You are my hot drug, my spicy opiate Imbued in an instance's consideration of your eyes Or those plump, juicy fruits you call lips Your streaked, heather tresses or satin dermis Your curves and their sublime movements, defying gravity Those hundred little places that quiver at the touch I am addicted, and I drive you into my veins with reckless regard Fast, searing, soul-pounding rushes of passion That, in my best of minds and composure I can never get enough of And will surely die ... In its grip. ~ 5th Place ~ in the "Your Amphetamine" Poetry Contest, Anthony Slausin, Judge & Sponsor.

This is a wonderfully creative piece my great friend! Ihad some friends decades ago that were on speed, two died of heart attacks, the other in a car wreck while speeding (both ways of speeding). As always great, creative poetry... A fav..

Thank you, thank you, Robert, I'm so pleased you liked this one. Yes, drugs do so much damage, and I wish I hadn't found that out so first-hand, but the drug, Love, can be just as damaging ... yet we all need it so. Blessings, My Good Friend! :-)
