Fire

You cause within me
A deep, unquenchable
Thirst
That goes beyond
All of my senses
To the very center
Of my soul.

A dry, intense
Heat
That spreads within me
To every end
Of my being.

One touch, no more
Is all
That you allow
For now,
And it tortures me,
Intensifying
All that burns inside me.

I am being consumed,
Forever falling
In this beautiful
Red-hot
Dream.

And when I wake
You are there
Making me
Wet
Drenching me
With your touch,
With your kisses.
