Stung… (2013 re-write of The First Time...)

Sitting here

Heart pounding

Anxiety overwhelms senses

hands shaking

smiling reassuringly

while every muscle

Feels tight… taunt

Ready for flight

My lips a meal

as shallow breath escapes me

and strangely uncomfortable

yet all too familiar energies courses 

through me

One a pining malcontent

Another sloven and base…

I am stilled

and overpowered…

The First Time
Sitting here

Heart pounding

Anxiety predominates most senses

Hands shaking

Smiling reassuringly

while every muscle feels tight & taunt

I feed on my lips

as shallow breath escapes me..

and strangely uncomfortable

yet now, all too familiar Energies

Courses through

Me…

one a pining malcontent

another savage …

I am stilled and overpowered.
