_fusion_
i yearn to be that plump drop of sweat teetering on the hairline of your temple swollen with heat i want to slide to the brow float
lower to your chisled jaw
cling to the chin for a moment hurl myself into
the a b y s s
plummet
through the steam of your body SLAM myself
into your heaving chest navigate my way to the
cave of your navel push myself deep into the
center of your being
dissolve
intoyou

this is wonderful! the line spacing and indenting are perfect for this. great poem!
Sensual and beautiful.
I really like the way the poem looks on the page. It’s like we are diving into his navel! A testament to wanting to take in everything about someone we love — from the little beads of sweat to the center of their being. Nothing too little, nothing too small.
Love the form of this poem! And the title! You express so well the intensity and power of new love with your wonderful verbs – cling, hurl, plummet, slam, push, and the best, dissolve! Excellent!
Love the sensory details and movement of the poem that is mirrored by the placement of words on the page!
