Passiontide

Missing image

Flickering tongues of orange and red

blaze across trails of desire 

 

Parched throat burns, craving

only a drop of water to quell the heat.

 

The flames rage within her body,

as though she were Helios, incarnate.

 

Fire dances on her tongue,

her mouth hot, her passionflower warmer.

 

Her voracious appetite pulses within,

to the rhythm of insatiable need.

 

Incinerating Olympus with but a kiss,

her splendor bringing the sun-god to his knees.

 

Scorching through his immortal soul,

until he can stand no more of her

 

And the final crescendo, a seismic release,

is a wild display of pyrotechnic lust.

 

When he wakes, she is already gone,

but he can see her fiery form in the distance

 

Through incandescent eyes, and he knows

that his Pele will be back for more. 

Author notes

Pic-inspired

In Greek mythology, Helios is the Sun God, who is most often depicted as riding in a chariot, pulled by four fire-horses.

Also, Pele is the Hawaiian fire goddess, thought to be very passionate and creative, though destructive.

For all-intensive purposes, I combined the two... Enjoy!
