Prosaic Infatuation

Not going to try harder?
Or is it too hard to try?
Should I play hard to get?
Or with alcohol ply?

I would tell you a story,
If I knew any good.
But perhaps it'd be better
To just know where you stood.

I feel a little ridiculous
Putting down into word
The conflict inside me
Over what has occurred.

But I cannot resist
When your face cracks a smile;
It convinces me then
That it's all been worthwhile.

We gave it a chance
To become something more,
And risked a great deal
To let hormones soar. 

And now we return,
From a fantastic land,
To the world of the living,
Where kissing is banned. 

I do hope we stay
Close by to each other
Where I can at least be
Some kind of a brother. 

But if that's not enough
And you long to go further
Then hold out your hand
And we'll explore with fervor.

Just don't be a stranger;
I don't think I could stand it.
I'd probably try stealing
Your glance like a bandit. 

And with it I'd pull
On your thread of attention
Until I'd unraveled
Your remaining apprehension. 

Wonderful things
Would I do with my fingers
While my tongue plays along
Till your radiant glow lingers

And with that I will leave you;
I should definitely sleep. 
For I've memories to count
Instead of just sheep.

Conflagration

Skin's on fire
The burning comes from within
It warms but does not consume

Trapped in close
It threatens sanity
Where's the release?

A touch grazes thigh
A new trail blazes 
A scream stifled

Where did it go?
Is this falling?
Will the dark end?

The heat rises again
The roller coaster clicks
The glow returns

And it escalates
Too close! Too close!
Feathers and wax melt away

Sharpness erupts 
Nipples erect
Arching raises them skyward 

Wordless mouth opens
Gaping eyes smolder
Knives slice invisibly

There it is
There it went
Slack trumps form

Laying flat without thought
The darkness returns
Void envelopes 

But gravity returns
It pulls upwards
Towards the sun again
Towards pain and ecstasy
