7:00 am
The morning warmth
wraps a vignette
of lust
around young hearts;
Eager eyes
and Cheshire smiles
delight
in a sumatra blend of
desire;
An instant
transfixed
immutable
as the waterfalls
of our thoughts
pour into each others'
ravenous pools;
A touch
driven by the
instinct of
caramelized passion
ignites caffeinated
temptation;
The steam
of reciprocated
anticipation
salutes
7:00 am.

I just read a good book tonight, Cuban Counterpoint: Tobacco and Sugar by Fernando Ortiz. It was published in 1947 but wasn't translated into English until recently.
You're lines:
instinct of
caramelized passion
ignites caffeinated
temptation
reminded me of the book.
Ortiz has an entire section that talks about how caffeine and chocolate and nicotine provided the energy that fueled the renaissance through slight alterations in emotions... it is a curious notion, and I am doing it no justice by writing about it here.
your first four lines capture me. i imagine waking up, sleep-warmed with a body curled perfectly against my back, and wanting to leave the marks of my nails everywhere. mmmmm. then coffee in bed after.
illimitable voices - No, that sounds really interesting. I've never thought about mild stimulants in relation to a renaissance.
Something else that I find interesting is the use of certain drugs in fueling the creativity for the information age. Nobel-prize-winning chemist Kary Mullis said that LSD had helped him develop the polymerase chain reaction that helps amplify specific DNA sequences. Also, Steve Jobs described his LSD experience as one of the two or three most important things he has done in his life.
hmmm... they could be on to something.
transience - Frisky before the coffee? I'd be remiss not to wonder what happens after.
**silvermOOn** - I'm glad to see you drop by. That actually reminds me - I've been meaning to poke around your visual arts page. Off I go...

Alice in the wonderland at 7:00 in the morning. Hehe. How seldom we get that mad...
Really nice images that you portray in here!! Very nice
blue rogue - How seldom we get that mad? If only it was seldom, some of us would be so much better adjusted - as if that was a good thing!
stormy zephyr - Gracias. I couldn't help but notice that "This Side of Paradise" was one your favorite books. Mine as well. It has that vain quality where we can't help but put ourselves in Amory's shoes. The sign of a brilliant writer!
Ah those 7 am pangs for all things wild.
Your words left we asking for more through the end.
And fantastic picture.
**silvermOOn** - So sorry to hear about your injury. I wish words could do more...
I'm not advocating drugs nor condemning them. However, I do find the subject somewhat fascinating. I'm still under the impression that most artists were/are on some kind of drug. It's going to have to take a shitload of evidence to change my mind.
prat - Maybe it should have been entitled 7:10. The first ten minutes are spent cursing the alarm clock - then the fun begins.
Mmmm how we all want that 'afterglow@
i think the words, the images, the photograph wrap up together into this cozy feeling and lovely beginning to a day.
"caramelized passion
ignites caffeinated
temptation;"
yummy :)
temppixie - Ain't that the truth!!
lorena - If only every day would begin like that.
Although, then it might be like "Groundhog Day," and that might be a bit weird.
Nevertheless.
