burning

My heart pounding
in your hands,
like a sacrifice
held aloft
over the fire
of your body.

Arcing and flickering
like a flame
caught in the hot wind
of your breath,
scouring the flesh
from my bones.

My nails raking,
blood tracks
through the sweat
on your chest,
where my melting
soul flows to rest.

Struck deep
by your steeled hook,
silently screaming
in pleasure's agony,
where time and light
shatter and coalesce
into heated friction.

Seared beyond shape,
thrown into the stars,
torn apart;
to finally return
to my home
in your burning.
