Bothersome Little Celebrity Obsession
(entered into calamitygin's "Your Dream Lover" competition)
for Giovanni Ribisi
All I know is just your mouth, just your mouth,
I want to lose myself in your mouth.
My body is a cage of haunted ache
that yearns to house you forever.
I have ached for you since I was nine,
praying rosaries so you would appear to me
in my little white canopy bed.
This yearning in me, merciless, pulsing.
I seethe with it. My woman's body longs
to consume the essence of you.
Oh what you do to me, what you do.
Your hands, artist’s hands, I need them on me,
at my neck, making the shivers go away.
Why am I like this?
I burn to cry, wanting you with me,
your breath in my mouth.
A lump forms in my throat,
I’m running out of time.
Don't leave me here, lost
without the map of your body,
the almanac of your heart.
