heat
comes from
your face, your lips
radiation
of ultra-violet
personality performances
running in my mouth
moistening chapped lips
my frozen tongue
thaws
& I am swift, move quick
but looking into those
volcanic eyes
lava boils tastebuds
stories turn into sentences
sentences into words
words into bland alphabet stew
& soup heals every sickness
but Nerve syndrome
{ I need your flavour }

Why would you regret writing this in the morning? I don't understand that! Ryan this is amazing... very sensual and (slightly suggestive) but it's beautiful! Loved it! xoxo Meg

I really like how you captured the sensual aspect of this. Really clever and concise. I dig it.

also word of advice, if i were you i would stop dating girls that shot lava from their eyes it never ends well

LOL thanks for the advice

i hate soup, stew is more my flavor, but i like it, you did a great job on this, keep it flowing and good luck in the contest.

L2 "it" removing it wouldnt change the meaning, but makes it sound better.
"&" - poetically "and" is better and looks less lazy.
Content, as always, is excellent.

I got told off for being lazy when I used them and in all honesty, I was being lazy
So, I'm just passing on valuable information

I enjoyed this piece, it had a nice flow to it with some good metaphors and imagery.A thing that could possibly enhance the write would be the use of punctuation at strategic points, other than that wonderful.Best of luck in the contest

This is superb, Ryno.
You have talent... and a good size of it, too.
Who cares if you're not gold? Your name stands out amongst the crowed even w/o the badge.
This is gold worthy, though, and a winner in my eyes.
Excellent penning!
