Definitions will spawn in a new window (Wordnet):

love and hate and stress
caustic

If I made a pot of coffee
 1
and left it on the burner until
 2
it boiled down to
 3
a caustic syrup
 4
drank it down in
 5
three-quarter time gulps
 6
it might come close
 7
to this feeling you give me
 8
 
You’ve turned my eyes to lightning
 9
touching for impossible moments
 10
whatever they feel attracted to
 11
at the time
 12
My fingers do
 13
an impressive tap dance routine
 14
on the nearest horizontal surface
 15
My lips move faster than
 16
the speed of thought
 17
             and you’ve always said mine
 18
             was impressive
 19
My skin interprets even imaginary touch
 20
at an intensity only
 21
lunatics and drugs addicts
 22
experience
 23
