You Intoxicate Me --- NaPoWriMo 11

This is in response to the Two for Tuesday prompt at Poetic Asides. The challenge is to write a love poem and an anti-love poem. This is the love poem. I will also post this at Writer's Island.

You Intoxicate Me! (The Love Poem)

I did not ask to love you.

I was just lounging around in the grass

Living my everyday life,

When your scent wafted in,

Extremely intoxicating.

Like a vampire at the scent of a human 

I gravitate towards you

Obeying some unknown dictat of my cells

You intoxicate me and I sink my tooth

Into your juicy foot.

You shriek in horror and

Wrench me away with a pair of tweezers.

You do not believe in inter-species love.

I am just a lowly arachnid to you!

To you, I am just a tick!
