Matchstick

For My Blue Heart ... I love you.

A matchstick -

Carefully pulled out

Of its

Cleverly decorated box

Slid open in a painfully

Slow gesture

Strong fingers approaching

Taking in between

Fingerprints the body

Pushing it against

The striker

Subtle motion

In unison of

Explosive chemicals

Hardened into the shell

Bursting into a flame

In between your hands

Cupping fire to light

Lips waiting

Smoldering from floor

To ceiling in heat

Fanning flames unleashed

Wild from head to toe

Taking one long note

Of the rest stop

Overflowing with lava

And love

Eternal fires below

Echo your name

Beating a pulse

That only you can tame

With one passionate strike

Of your matchstick.

My Secret Obsession

for some reason I feel seduced...
and it is the words of a "Matchstick"....
Peace, Love & Inspirations!

Welcome Back.....,

With this storm match head Y will
Pierce through the dark of your night
Igniting the steady pulse
To bring your night into day
Heat the hottest heat lifting you
Into a long burning colourful flame
With this hands friction and speed
Your dawn will be lit forever
In fireworks with this Bengal match

Thanks for the read.

Very subtle sensuality delivered with class and daring, I love this one and love the comparison of the match.
