Pyrotechnics

Images of you dance through my mind
Twirling through the dark recesses to shine bright light
Illuminating the twisted path of desire
Exploding into the depths of my heart and soul

The light that shines in you is now a part of me
Igniting one shared flame from a spark
Creating a oneness but maintaining separateness
Manifesting a powerful joint force

The fiery torch lights the way
Spreading its warmth, its brilliance, its clarity
Taking me to places I have yet to discover
Needing to explore unchartered realms

The source of the burning makes me hot
Boiling over with unbridled passion
Feeling scorched by the intense heat
Wanting to be consumed by the fire

The glow courses through me
Radiating to the depths of my being
Broadening my view of satisfaction
Expanding my vision of completeness

An ember remains as evidence of the combustion
Flushing with pleasure as it calms
Waiting to rekindle and renew
Nurturing itself so it may blaze again
