My heart’s on fire.

Do you see it? It burns, blazes. Whenever you are near.
If you leave, I will be consumed by the flames. For you are the only one who tames it.
But, but, it could go at any minute…
burst and I would be gone.
But I feel the heat. I hear the crackling. I see the embers glow.

My heart’s on fire.

For you. For you. My love. I hope you see.
You touch and the ember licks the salt from your fingertip
Your lips leave ashes behind
My sweat sizzles upon your tongue
The fire has sprung, has lived, has died, since you arrived
It thrives for you.
It becomes blue and weak when you have left, yearning for the kindle that is your love
You enter, and like a phoenix, I am reborn
And the fire sings to me a happy lullaby

My heart’s on fire.

But your heart is something completely different
Your heart is a waterfall, a sea, a raging hurricane
That clashes with my own
The steam rises between us, and it’s hard to see past the fog
Your cool liquid wraps around me
I feel myself begin to drown

My heart. My heart. Is on fire.
Raging. Burning. Fiery.
But only for you.


For you, my love.
