Effects of an Affect

Your embrace is a bubble bath at the perfect temperature, and, when the surface splits, the crystal blue water looks like a natural spring from my childhood. When you share your mind, I am wrapped in white cashmere. Swaddled gently around me are your words dancing with your intellect. Your hands are heated basalt stones. They are flat, smooth, and healing against my knotted flesh. Your eyes are the furthest point of an ocean by sight: they are sunset against the horizon, and your depth appears endless and erotically haunting. I see a rainbow aura pulsing when your heart is joyful. The frequency of you plays strings with a staccato rhythm. And my pulse quickens when you are near: I get high from the oxygen birthed in my blood as it rushes through my body --nourishing every cell.

Love.
