water,
scalding water
on my skin.
your lips burn
like a thousand flames.
tiny beads
drop into
oceans of sweat.
you make it
hard to breathe sometimes.
stream rising
from the questions
i will never ask.
your fingertips
run up my body.
my hands
on your chest
as oceans run between us.
you raise your head
and close your eyes.
water from my eyes
dripping like tears
but maybe it is water.
you will wrap me in your arms
and i will shiver.
a sip of sustenance
when i am
always thirsty.
you make me die
for your love
that ebbs and flows
like water.

This is such an intimate piece. Your writing evokes intense emotions in just a few words. Great writing!
Very steamy, you wrote beautiful poetic intensity. 
Just a little bit steamy, I like it!
Your poetic words flowed like a gentle stream of water with emotions.
I've been watery themey of late and this is right up my stream.
