Listen to Delicate Thunderstorm by Richard Charles Stevens (Wind It Up Remix)

Listen to Wind It Up by The Prodigy

One delicate kiss
The lingering spritz
Of whispering bliss
To my tingling lips
As the sand martins chirrup
My heart turns to syrup
Intermingling amidst the reminisce of harp strings fingered
While the lark and the kingbird
Face windward unhindered
And invert their wingtips
To curtsy the mystics
Concur with one delicate kiss
Reaffirmed by the light which exists

Fingertips to fingertips
Pulsing wrist to wrist
To shift dear liquids clear of thrift
Frontier the continental drift
Thence disappear into the mist
To pioneer a brisk airlift
With span of transatlantic swift
And redefine romantic myth

One delicate kiss

The lingering spritz

Of whispering bliss

To my tingling lips

As the sand martins chirrup

My heart turns to syrup

Intermingling amidst the reminisce of harp strings fingered

While the lark and the kingbird

Face windward unhindered

And invert their wingtips

To curtsy the mystics

Concur with one delicate kiss

Reaffirmed by the light which exists

Gliding fair skies realized
By sheer size as they give rise to the twin spires of reprise to sightless scene
Blind eyes with the insight to foresee a theme redeemed from the abiding tide of centuries
Adventurously preened
For every feather of forever tethers readily to breed
Through reverie
Togetherly it heeds
For one delicate kiss
To never cease
Tis no more elegant a wish
Than to proceed

Skin to skin

Herein to bleed

To dig in deep and interleave

To mesh the flesh of seed caressed

Abreast of courage thence addressed

To see undressed the petals blessed to nourish in unfurl

Bid them flourish as they twirl

And thus encourage gleam of pearl

One delicate kiss

And my lips curl to delight the taste

Resistant to the slightest taint

A vision stained in fine white lace

Sensual

In excess of existential

Charmed of grace

Palm to palm

Forever ornamental

Face to face

Bookend hearts

Forevermore embrace

One delicate kiss

The lingering spritz

Of whispering bliss

To my tingling lips

Fingertips to fingertips
Pulsing wrist to wrist
To shift dear liquids clear of thrift
Frontier the continental drift
Then disappear into the mist
To pioneer a brisk airlift
With span of transatlantic swift
And redesign romantic myth
Of steepened flight
