Your breaths, like ascendant fires
Lick my ear lobe
Dispatching all through my body
Butterflies of incandescence

Your heart, like a metronome
Speeds me forward
Entranced by its relentless beat
I surrender to your rhythm

Your murmurs, like timeless songs
Tease my longings
Resonating with my heartstrings
Into deep emotive duets

Your passion, like a high tide
Floods my senses
In every wave that rushes past
I'm feeling more echoes of you
Written 2006-01-11 for Tiara.

This piece is a response to Tiara's You, and borrows both its title and structure.

Another source of ideas was Murmur of your lips, about which Tiara said: I must say if you've never written erotic poetry before you've got a good start for one... So, I picked a motif from each line and wrote a stanza on each, in reverse order.

The last stanza was, in my opinion, the most emotive and therefore the hardest to write. I had two different versions of it: the one I chose, which reflected the love of water that Tiara and I shared; and one that might fit in with the butterflies theme a bit better:

Your passion, like fresh nectar
Feeds my senses
In every drop of tenderness
I'm feeling more echoes of you

this is such a wet living piece.. I can´t help but think of crashing waves, and that of love but also the separation of people by the ocean.
