Kim V. Poetry

It’s sweltering tonight.

The summer heat
Clings to my skin
Like a lover.

Caressing every inch of me
In voluptuous delight.

It reminds me of you
And how you bewitched me.

How with your words,
You wake the beast inside.

Had my brain fuzzy and
Lost in rhymes.

I was drunk off your words,
For they were like
Tasting time and wildfire lust.

Like misty moonshine and
Captured embraces.

Like blazing love, in the eventide.

God, I need you.

I need your stormy kisses
With my back pressed to the wall.

I need to be imprisoned by your touch.

Oh, what elegance of fate is this?

That I would long to find myself
In the ashes of August,
Following you into the flames.
Just to be warmed by your heat again.
