Inspiration for Metal Mouth

My Titanium Toothed Lover

by T.R. Stevens

I love her green skin, those opalescent eyes What she does to me with her long toes makes me scream She touches me all over, all at once, with her nubular tentacles, leaving rings on my back,

her almond odor in my nose And when I do it just right

I am intoxicated by her red wine tears of ecstasy

and dazzled by the rainbows that play across her gossamer wings

Ah, and when she chews the stones,

and lightly blows the sand across my body, her teeth sparkling as she cannot suppress a smile, I close my eyes and drift on her stony breath, remembering the love we make

as we freefall through the dry air of Omalon, or atop a wave on the acetic seas of Salinmay. The way I fit inside her, as she enfolds me into her body chambers, plunges me deep into a hypnotic state of forgotten safety and surrender
