Melt.

I will love you languid
When you're tired
Stay in your white nest
All day if you like
I'll stare at you while you stare at your eyelids
I'll move over you like a sentient glacier

Or if you like
We'll make lavalamp love
I'll flow through you slow
Heat you from the inside
With the look in my eyes
I will love you languid
I'm made of syrup and warm wax
I'll melt myself over your skin
Delicately coating you in sugar
And heat


Yay, poem.

Thank you! I wasn't too sure about the glacier bit when I first wrote it, but the more I read it, the more I like it.

you use the word love alot.... In other languages like greek and arabic love is described in hundreds of differant ways... We have other words too that could construct a more intimate feel to go along with the sexy lava exchange :~)
But I like it of course :~)

Thank you.
My poetry is usually very short, I like it better that way.

I almost want to see the reprise of "I will love you languid" be the beginning of a new stanza, but aside from that, this is perfect.

Very original and beautiful.
