I BURN

My skin caught on fire

At the moment his cold skin touched mine

The moment I heard his sultry voice

The moment his teeth found my vein

Oh, how I burned

Re-calescent

I was Icarus flying to close to the sun

I was a Phoenix bursting into rebirth

I was surely struck by the lightning of Thor

How I relished in the flame

Paralysed by his scolding touch

Paralysed by my boiling fear

Paralysed by my searing lust

Oh, how I burned, but,

Chilling terror or smoking desire

Which way would I fall?

I still had not decided

Even as he tore my dress away

His hands roamed

Caressing my sweltering, naked body

Caressing my shivering, inner thighs

Caressing my sizzling lips of sin

Oh, how I burned

I moaned, begging

Pleading for more of his feverish torture

Pleading for him to burn me whole

Pleading for him to ignite my soul

So he gave me fire

Wrapped in ice

& I froze to death

Melting into him

& oh, how I burn
