Shakespeare's Monkeys

Infinite Monkeys. Infinite Typewriters.

Inspired

In the mood...
Tumbling down upon me

Smoldering heat imprisoned

Your animal scent flares

I prowl up the bed sheets

Pulling strong against my chains

Ripping fire

I pounce upon you

Your cotton candy lips are mine.

This is more of a thought than a comment on the poem as a whole. The last line is excellent -- it makes me think you might want to extend a metaphor towards it. Which is to say, as it stands that line isn't integral to the piece -- it is its own little thing. I'd love to see you extend a lustful lover as child-at-a-carnival metaphor ending with that line. As it stands, you have elements that could almost work at a carnival but not quite. Such as a lion, elephant or strong man with the chains and animal scents.
