Opium

Oh no doubting the addiction
when every sense I own
seems to overhang my skin,
moving slow,
luscious lethargy
and it seems i have grown
more nerves,
new skin
or just another hyper sense
beyond touch
or taste
or smell.

You look at me
smoky eyed
eyes sleepy but rapt
and you lay one finger---
just one
and set me to a sweet shiver
and then that craving begins,
and it's not just want
but serious need
spreading like a slow burn
from my belly to my heart
and leaving everything
smelted in between,
so all i can do
is kiss that smile
right off your lips,
and indulge in my favorite addiction.
You.
