i dangled my heart
…………………………in front of you

you didn’t take
a nibble
you took a bite

my life
suddenly turned
inside out
couldn’t scream
couldn’t shout
the emotions
dripped from my skin
your eyes laughed
whimsically
my painted toes danced
capriciously

forward
the tone of the day
yester’s
don’t matter anyway
passion and adore
overflowed the room
as sudden
as a touch
…………….a hug
………………………….a squeeze

as sudden
as feelings exposed
and seen
wake didn’t matter
for
sleep never happened
talking took the place of silence

discoveries
of fingers tip to tip
lips to lips
hips to hips

mirth & giggles
blanketed the space
waves of exhilaration
a captivating place

my heart no longer dangling free
for you took a bite

…………………………………. of me
