*Fire In My Belly

Mediocrity creeps through my being
and it is an unpleasant feeling at best.
Stagnation has cemented me in this
place of unrealized dreams.

I yearn for a creative explosion, to throw
you to the floor, to strip you naked
emotionally.  To make you feel everything.

I have a desire to expose myself fully so that
you will either love me or hate me.
I will leave no room between for indifference.

I want to render you speechless, yet have
you share everything just by feeding you
my thoughts and visions.

I want to possess and hold you for a moment,
to pull you through an image, to perhaps take
you where it hurts, but don't expect me to heal you.

All this to men and women alike - I want to
make you slip back into the familiar,
yet uncomfortable skin of being human.
