intimately irresponsible

Pushing buttons, crossing lines.

So intimately irresponsible

Have I accidentally made a mark?

Consider me indescribable,

I get it all the time.

May I call you anything?

Leave this line available

A touch so easily missed

Just call it submersible

I can be such a sexual creature

Some pictures were made to be in black and white

A smoke that seemed so consolable

But an invisible presence so pronounced

Still with skin so close its undeniable

You can’t see the look in my eyes

Both taken so it doesn’t matter

A genuine kiss seems so impossible

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Making everything around us flammable

Don’t deny whatever your body feels

Love it love it love it. And the title is exceptionally clever as well.

This poem really hits some of the senses :)


"It is a terrible thing to be so open. It is as if my heart put on a face and walked into the world" -- Sylvia Plath.
