Volatile Conductivity

By CjPsychotic

(This is the collaborated poem from myself and the wonderful Mab that is our weapon of choice for the new contest we have going on.)

The waves and whips of your citric flame
launch caustic chills of molten malice down my spine
and welds itself to my heart.

gleaming with trepidation for a taste of your warmth;
my defenses go up in smoke and ignite
against the flicker of your flash-point flavor.

The smoke clad barrels of your eyes
spew a seizing hormonal blaze
accompanied by your acidic lip-locked sentiment;
corrosively annexing the flare from the pyre of my mind.

your thirst for collateral damage
has become a fire inside me;
lazily licking flames that hungrily suffocate my thoughts
until they are engulfed by the intensity of your every need.

Bathing in the suffocation of your radiance,
this symphonic conduction vaporizes my lines
into an ash-kissed porcelain
and leaves me nothing but an afterglow of love;
a mere cinder scintilla,
kindled by your hand.

    You guys are definitely going to give everyone a run for their money. This just seals the whole poem: "and leaves me nothing but an afterglow of love; a mere cinder scintilla, kindled by your hand." Magnificent fusion of writers.

    The fourth and fifth stanzas on this could easily have stood alone for me- though the entire piece was excellently wrought. (your thirst for collateral damage/has become a fire inside me) slapped me across the face. Powerful image. Well done you two!!

    I am too. Usually I can't work with anybody, but this actually came pretty stress free.
