Adrienne

There exists a God in your body
a deity in you somewhere
all who look upon you, they become
detached from what they thought they knew
from what they understood before
and so begins the freefall
into a deep and glowing love for you

You are a carrier, spreading the seed
of this great ailment throughout
with each bat of each lash you do
and with each smile and short pause
your words are bursting in my ears
and so begins the freefall
into a deep and shining love for you

Oh, you do this to me
please do this to me!

i like the way you describe the affection...but the ending made me cringe...maybe im just fed up of people batting their eyes and talking shit at me thinking it make them delicously unnattainable and unique yet they all do it thomas....im not impressed, short pauses annoy me. but i do like the way youve described that cascade of feeling. and its only my jaded opinion.

I totally agree with Cynthia that the first verse can stand alone as a poem.

The idea you have expressed takes my breath away : )

You know how I admire your thinking and the expression of it. I believe all you needed to say in this poem is in the first verse which is rich enough to stand alone.
