Do you have any clue how
mesmerizing
you remain?
You're a cryogenic
heart
attack
{encased in flame}
and laced with memory's sweetest secret name
spoken
and winding
icily
down the same
backbone that you freeze
with a fireburn hum;
to feel you breathe
upon my xiphisternum
is like a dream from heaven above
wrapped in an
aquamarine

flame;
"I am so in love with you"

His smile vintage, lips, dry as cocoa mix
now moist as dew kissed grass
The table acquaints us
panties wilt to the obese rug
among spilled wine and cradled glass

This was fun to write
Can you guess what kind of form this is? Points to whomever can -- besides the people I've already told. You've got 3 days.
I'm rather proud of this, guys, and I hope all of you enjoy it too. Let's get your blood boiling, shall we?
