Essence of Desire. by ~darkhairedangel:icondarkhairedangel:



Her perfume washes over me
with the heady scent of
hot rain, citrus, and betrayal
a waterfall of intoxication
catching me in the current
and pulling me under.

My lips linger on her fingertips
dreading the taste of alcohol
I will find on her wrists
but I am tempted with the promise
of the sinful scent of summer
and lies.

She is my intimate impending doom
crushing morals with a kiss
she is secretive sunsets nestled
close to barely restrained desires
she is animal instincts and carnal wants
I envisage that she is mine, but she belongs to no one.

Author's Comments

This was inspired by [link] poetry and the perfume "Sinful" from Anchor Blue, and every girl who walks by me who smells like lust.

The one thing you don't do enough
Is to stretch beyond your own limits
To pause and move outside yourself
Look at your world from a different perspective
You'll be surprised how much you miss
Just by thinking you miss nothing at all. - Gilad
:iconscarlettletters:

The third stanza is descriptively intoxicating.
