An Awakening

My skin caught on fire

at the touch of your hand.

Raging with desire,

being just a man,

coming in contact with

you, made me lose my mind,

my thoughts began to drift.

Your gift was not unkind,

your intention was Love.

The fault lies within me.

Anything from above

this plane would affect me

the same. I am human.

This gift bestowed - burns me!

Woman you're not, nor man.

You want to set us free.

I do not understand

why you bother to care.

With being part of Man,

I know that we are scared

to love. You have so much

to teach. As we despair,

do we have a chance? Such

Hope! Do we even dare?

Does the fire go out?

Do not cast me from you.

Teach me and I will shout

for you. Love, all for you.
