Her mind wanders with every pause, every space

Between the lines he writes

She is taken to where she never thought she’d travel

To where fantasy seems a reality

As eyes so affix themselves to the words, the meaning

The heart gets a hold of emotions

It races, increasing, with each word, each syllable

With deep breaths, to this place she returns

The heated midday sun is cool compared to her now

As words transform her quiet day

Into a raging pool of need and want

She so succumbs to the overpowering lust of sensuality

As her discretion is cast aside

Her eyes close upon the very last word read

Her heart and body tremble

As a quake, undeniable to all,

Takes her to the apex of poet’s mountain

And back again

Returning her to her world

And to the next poem to read
