Love Poem: I Breathe Fire

I Breathe Fire

As the mythical treasure of the Argonauts
illustrious eyes draw me in
the tendrils of your gaze
seeking the answer 
an unasked question
draping itself over my needs


I inhale


Abruptly your nearness
overwhelms
the brilliance of you
beckons to my spirit
As your nearness overtakes me
A need for air overcomes sense
reason reigns in need


I tremble


A catch in sigh
through gasping lips
Your first brush
throwing me into
cyclone of want
forever burns my skin
in the slow lava
you draw from me…


I exhale


Rapture from the heat
my master in the fires
sated in love 
I Breathe fire …
