Conflagration
How fragile is this love? A single sparkextinguished with one breath. And yet this flame,
this stubborn flame can catch and start
a roaring fire that cannot be contained.
Our passions feed, our hearts consumed with fire.
We drip with love, our bodies slick, entwined,
we lay together full of spent desire.
In night’s embrace, the glowing embers shine,
caress your skin still warm to lover’s touch.
My lips leave burning kisses as we trace
each other’s shape by feel alone. You brush
a gentle, languid hand across my face.
A sacred fire smolders in your gaze.
Your love ignites and strikes the spark to blaze.
