the first one

 

It was less a kiss than it was a barbecue

 

Tenderloins seared on an iron grill

over hot coals

 

The second was cauterizing, sweetly acidic

She filled my mouth with fruity venom that served

as forewarning of things to come

Should have, anyway

 

Third time up to bat made for some chaotic reading

My tongue pored over verses and chapters

that couldn't be put into words

I understand

 

Every one after that left me with a tingly,

burning sensation down my left arm

 

Kind of a romantic heart attack
