My fingers test a candle’s flame as I touch your skin
Quickly, they dare to cross the brink of pain, as if taunting the blaze
Heat.
Invigorating heat for only a moment, interrupted by a stinging ache
Charring lips blur bravery and ignorance
Fire that traces my throat and thighs, leaving me blistered and spent
Smoldering is ignored by incandescence
I am elated and chilled by the greetings of skin
Embers glow and scorch my core
Mine alone.
The inferno’s depth reaches only your skin
Heat without Warmth
