You

You

You
You
You 
You

You

It rattles and thumps around in my bones
Like a soft pillow
Made of diamonds
Crunching in my blood
With hobnob nailed cotton puff boots  

You
You
You 
You

You

It slaps and kiss-lings shudders its way through my head
Stomping around in my pulses raucous
With candy flossed lips 
Banging and begging on thunder
Like a puppy

You
You
You 
You

You

It squalls with baby tears 
And squalls with hurricane storms
Lifting me up and throwing me to the floor
Where I rage spoiled kid in a tantrum
But still giggling behind loves dementia

You
You
You 
You

You

Do I know what I am doing
Do I even know what I am writing
I feel like some joker, some Punch drunk on Judy
A glove puppet on which your hands turn me
Happily
Enslavery
In a quagmire of kittens
To suffocate and drown me
And oh so readily defend the butchery
Of a pineapple vodka slicing into my heart
A strange thing ice cubes swimming in the heat boiling there in

Of

You
You
You 
You

You

I understand being drunk on love....the only cure is another lover to get you over the hangover.
