Cacoethes

I am craving

he breathes in my ear… 

and suddenly I’m lost

and there are no trails

through the tangles


each inhalation an ache

an indulgent shudder

and every exhalation 

a reckless invocation


his whispers

twist around me

wisteria words twining 

gauntlets and corselette

of fragrant vine


I turn to taste them

inhale the sun-soaked scent

and sample their exquisite 

honeysuckle nectar...


I am craving
