A torrential maelstrom of fervor and flame
flow through me like mercury
Tiny tributaries circulating through every crevice of my mind
An amalgam
of heat and touch
of hunger and tears
of bliss and sorrow

Heat, emanating from my skin
Smoldering at the sound of your voice,
The taste of your lips,
The sight of your smile
Burning with a ferocity
That can only be quelled by your touch

Hunger, savage and wild
Laying in wait to consume you wholly
To be overwhelmed by all that you are
To fill myself of you
Until I am bursting forth with bittersweet tears

Bliss, pure and unending
Ecstasy turned delirium
Washed away by time and edicts
Into an intractable sorrow

The molten chaos and mercury
gliding through my veins
The zenith of what we are
of what we could become
of what we will never be

I am utterly consumed
