your hands roam over
my skin like submarines
searching for specimens
that could be interesting

i peel my eyes back
to look at your face-
panting and sighing,
you look nothing like
i thought this would be

where are the shivers,
the undeniable feeling?

all i feel is confused,
a bit hungry,
but what will you do
when you realize
i've got nothing?

Favorite Quote:
&quot;The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.&quot;<br /> &mdash;Apple&rsquo;s &ldquo;Think Different&rdquo; commercial, 1997<br /> &ldquo;Crazy people are considered mad by the rest of the society only because their intelligence isn&#039;t understood.&rdquo; <br /> ― Weihui Zhou

Excellent use of the rhetorical question at the end.
