Elemental Flame
The fire never dies
Following some encouragement from during the recent gathering, here is my offering; a poem of far more than three lines (IYKYK).

Ash stirs with twilight breezes
Warmth wrapping alabaster flesh in wire
Taut licks with teasing twists, charred and broken
Strands wound, bound tight
Tinder dry, the sparks flare
Soot webs over skin with familiar ardour
A sensuous crucible of fever
🔥
Languid illumination radiates, unhidden
Delicious and scalding restraint
Each electrical lachrymiform a sigh
A trigger coaxed closer to violence
Whispered passion amongst stars, pleas
Each stroke a cruel baptism
Laving, carving, transforming
🔥
Trial by control, submission, dominance
Vacillating with strong slick intensity
Every synapse torrefied
Burnt and blazing, melting, within
Tongues a torturous twist over skin
Followed with promises kept by flesh
Temptation radiantly beckoning the fall
🔥
Scorching fragments of memory
Kindles from embers of past immolation
Wild words meet action, paced, slow
A sempiternal dance of the senses
Fervour burns, arousing elemental desire
Igniting carnal dissipation with each oscillation
Searing incineration of hurt with craved pain
🔥
A torture welcomed with constriction
Breath held, and time stands still
The permitted pressure in our lungs
Searing the moment in blood
Meeting strike for strike, claw for claw, bite for bite
The conflagration a scream in the dark
Ash drifting to slick skin in entwined silence

If you wish to have a listen to a song which works beautifully with these words, please enjoy this one of my favourites.
