One touch ought not to send
my heart into such a wild fury,
should not clasp onto tongue
and halt my flowing words.
A kiss ought not drain
my lungs of oxygen,
should not lift me whole from the earth
and send me spiraling to another plane.
Your hard gray eyes should not cause
the clock to become motionless,
should not force my hands to grasp
onto your arm as so I
do not meet the floor unpleasantly.
But they do.
And each tracing fingertip
trickles your intoxication into my blood
and feeds it through my body so
that long afterwards I still am speechless,
still see in a haze,
still pulse furiously at the memory.
When your palms leave my skin I feel
the storm is pouring on my flesh alone
so unfulfilled
and thirsting.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh what you do to me *sigh*.
Anyway, I just started learning French. I think the titled is You are dangerous... but the form of dangerous may be incorrect, if it is so please tell me and I'll change it! ^^

Just wondering if in line 7 you don't actually mean to say "lift me" instead of "life my". As it reads now it maketh me chuckle!
Thanks so much for entering. Very much enjoyed the read. -
