Fever
written by: Suman Pokhrel
@sumanpokhrel
Fever painted me all over the body
with its warm kisses of love
for a duration unknown
Taking everything aside of my own being
it was a marvelous feel
to be cocooned into the grip
of this thin frenzy from head to toes
it was immensely ecstatic to
feel the passionate warmth over the skin
and was wildly delirious
to be caressed by its softness beneath the shell.
I want the fever to grab me forever
and want YOU
to be MY fever.
