Deep Fire

and that deep fire burns
smoldering all night
enflames the back of my neck
when I think of you

that gnawing heat
consuming inch by inch
my body
as I wait for your touch

the laser heat of your eyes
melts my bones when
I can savor
your hungry gaze

my burning hands
want to lick at your
flesh and heat your skin
ignite your moans and breath

I want to bask in the steam
of your grasp
reborn in your passion
boiling in your velvet embrace

and that deep fire burns
even when you walk away
as I taste the sweet pain
the blaze of anticipation
