I stare into the eyes of the flames
They dance and shift with acute clarity
Creating a distinct hypnotizing reality
A mesmerizing effect that removes my fear
The fire strengthens my resolve
Calming my mind and body
Engenders my trust
While it hastens my sleep
Warms my heart
As it impassions my soul
The fiery conflagration flickers with life
As it ignites yet another layer
A never-ending cycle
Beginning with a slow desire
Developing into a rapturous passion
Winding down to a delicious rest
The glowing coals radiate hope
While the warmth of the moment
Sifts throughout the room
A crackling melody sings to me
Softly rocking me in its arms
Intensely heated fingers
Trace the features of my face
Fervent kisses sear my neck
Creating the blaze to flare
I become once again consumed
As the fire engulfs me
A tempestuous frenzy ensues
Raging out of control
With a powerful desire to possess
Until the inferno reaches its climax
And the fire again begins to flicker
It wanes to a steady glow
But the embers never die
The heat always remains
It’s a constant presence
An ongoing desire
And a never-ending hope
