Chinese Torture July 2012

 

You drip into my open mouth,

 one slow drip at a time,

less nectar than honey

I steal from the birds and bees

in the dark of night.

You drip into my open mouth

 until I am inebriated,

 less sweet than potent,

a potion that makes me ache,

still, I ache for more.

You drip into me,

 over me,

 like hot wax that scalds

at first touch,

then turns tender as it cools,

 the scent of leaves and trees

stirred up, a taste in me.

You drip onto my eyes

 until I am blind,

 leaving me to rely on touch

I touch you,

feeling you in a whole new way,

the curves of flesh,

 the moist places,

the rough places,

 the place I need to go.

You drip onto me,

a Chinese torture

that drives me insane,

 and I don’t mind.
