Lost in Lust

desire

Falling? Floating?

The only certainty

Is the absence of terra firma

My body suspended in perpetual desire

Waves of wanting you

Crashing into me, knocking me down,

Flooding my senses.

Dangerous electricity in my veins

Wildfires erupting here and there,

Decadent, torturous heat

Throbbing and pulsating,

A signal call, satellite energy,

A beacon in the night

Broadcasting from my center

I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and all kinds of witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me.

I’m known as Dena Brown to the revenuers and pollsters.
