Sudden Rush Of Blood



Sudden Rush Of Blood

One gaze of your beautiful face brings
A sudden rush of blood in me
The surge of emotions and desire
Coupled with an urgency to be near you
Sends me running in your direction
Your body is my robe, my heart
In the shape of flowers, fruits
Exotic worlds and electric stars
Drawing me in your gravity
Elevating me in your atmosphere.

Your touch is a tempest, a force of nature
A wildfire weaving through my veins,
Sparking constellations beneath my skin.
Each breath of yours is a silk thread,
Spun from the loom of midnight winds,
Wrapping me in whispers of longing.
Your voice drips like honeyed stardust,
Melting into the marrow of my bones,
A melody sung by unseen moons.

I orbit you, a restless comet at light speed
Burning in the pull of your presence,
Drawn to the gravity of your gaze.
Your body is my sanctuary,
A garden where time dissolves
Into the perfume of unspoken desire.
Fingertips trace galaxies upon my chest,
Sketching love in the language of light,
Until I am nothing but embers and echoes
A sudden rush of blood,
Drowning in the tides of you.
