Let’s make our love by the glowing ashes
I’ll hold you tighter than they hold the heat.
I’ll breathe their warmth, your warmth
into the depths of my core
where shivers of sorrow hide
disguised as quakes of pleasure,
as aches to have you closer still.
Let’s make our love by the glowing ashes
for your warmth alone cannot save me
heat is not enough to heal
these shattered bones and frozen hands.
