Love Poem: addicted to you -

addicted to you -

you course in my veins with prurience, wild
          immersing my marrow in urge, recompiled
               teceptors abducted the instant you smiled
     love's effigy flaming, my sinews defiled
all virtue forsaken, as tears from a child
          fidelity's prospects are henceforth reviled

     I inject you, narcotic - my opiate, pure
a caustic and carnal contingency's cure
          delectably dressed with diabolic allure
               such dermal sublimity, surface demure
     I taste of your shapes, corporeal contour

          skin softly savored, goosebumped and bare
               your tang on my tongue, the nectar I share
     our sugar rush potion for ravishment, rare
mixed in a kiss with the strands of your hair

               your ecstatic delirium inculcates my core
     I'm lost to a lust that's not lasted before
tinged with an aching that day would abhor

               velvet and warm are the walls of your fire
     addicted to you with a crave to be higher

          you are my medicine, the tonic I chug

     I am infected, lubricious and riled
lavished in sensual senses so sure
          imbibing the essence of you without care
               mixed in like poison, I stir you and pour
     swallow in gulps, the consequence, dire
you are my opiate ... you are my drug.

               addicted to you.
