The flames lick at my feet and crawl upwards
Wrapped around my ankle
And behind my knee
Higher, higher the heat climbs
Caressing every curve of my waist
And trailing between my shoulder blades
Until it reaches its destination
In the center of my smoldering gaze
It burns so brightly and so intensely
Can you see it in my eyes, my love,
The fire of desire you've ignited?
Do not blame yourself that the edges of your
fingers we burnt as you pulled away
It is my own fault, after all
I could have smothered the flames long ago
When your cold hands held onto mine
But now I am warm
And unwilling to give up this comfort
