In The Skies of Your Eyes

by Scott Utley

If you were to touch me now you might electrocute the both of us.

I a’m highly charge and you're gifted with a devoring receptivity.

The hair along the arc of my forearms stand like devoted warriors.

Goosebumps from solar flares tinge the organ covering my being.

I feel chill although it’s 110 in the shade.

My body takes a high dive right into the center of your heavenly eyes.

I ascend, and then glide into the nexus of a perfect tear;

A white pearl choosing it's own path under the emerald eyes of an enchantress.

Naked and empty handed, I land heart-first onto your wonder-world.

The truth of your love amazes me.

I am speechless.

I am stunned.

Beautifully descriptive, with subtle sensual undercurrents vibrating just beneath the surface of these words. This is going on my favorites.

I like the way you separated the lines. I love line 8, and the mix of heat and cold in this. The electricity is palpable!

It's a rare and gorgeous experience, what you've described here. The tear gets me. Everytime.
