Notes: I still love this one. One of my best, I must say. :3

Creeping, crawling
Wavering in the air
Dancing your slithery tango
Oh how you entice me

Slinking and coiling
Revolving in your circles
Leaving the scent of your perfume
Lingering long after you're gone

Trudging through the grey clouds
That make up my being
The burning spark at your root
Feeding you

Swishing, sweeping
Sliding along my skin
Caressing the gentle curves
Of my body
You slip delicately through my clothes

Into the very nerves
Tingling
For just a taste of what you bring
My chemical addiction
To what you have to offer

Rolling, swirling with the winds
Dancing your intricate designs
With every puff
You put on a show for me

With the red glow at your roots
And the gentle sway of your limbs
You pull me back to you
My one and only obsession

Igniting your muse with a flicker,
A flame. You float away
From the arms
That scream at your absence
Shaking without your presence
Twitching to touch you again

And with a snap of the thumb
The lamp calls you back, back to me
