AUTHOR’S WEBSITE:

Love is fire

Licking at my skin

Hot death

Acrid, burning in my nostrils

While you finally wear away my defenses

Love is fire

Raging in my blood

And your voice crying out to me---alone

You need me now

But I can’t reach you

Love is midnight

I’m alone

There’s nothing left but cold

You’re holding me

But I can’t feel you

Love is midnight

And I’m lost

Nothing but hard stone under my knees

You’re in my arms now

But I can’t reach you

Love is your heart

Beating hard against my cheek

In the moment I feel wind against my skin again

And the scent of you

Wrapped around me

Love is my heart

Raging in my chest

In the moment I feel you breathe against my skin again

And the heat of you

Wrapped around me
