Desire

I feel my heart steaming towards you

I am wrought with the flames

Of passion

Consuming me

Until I am nothing more

Than smoldering ash

I feel my body steaming towards you

I am drawn without resistance

To your fiery seduction

Burning deep into me

Until I am nothing more

Than trembling desire

I feel my mind steaming towards you

I am controlled by this irresistible fascination

And unrelenting obsession

Taking over me

Until I am nothing more

Than sheer madness

I feel my soul steaming towards you

I shall sweetly surrender

All that I have

And all that make me

Until I am nothing more

Than your wasted possession
