Desire (For Writer's Island)


My heart pounding intensely,

a steady drumming in my ears,

a tangible longing at the core of my soul,

hanging suspended in mid-air,

My blood is liquid heat,

rushing to my face,

leaving my cheeks scarlet,

and leaving my palms drenched.

  5. It's been a long time for me, but I think you've correctly defined desire - or at least its immediate symptoms! Really nice work!
