spicy foods before bedtime

i think that you remind me of
    indigestion.


you ignite

fires in my diaphragm
    and the embers smolder

beneath my rib cage.



as the flames of your
  eternal gazes

lick at my heartstrings


  they are burned through

and erupt
        rupture


and then dissolve into vapor.



your whispers offer
  cooling breezes


to the inferno inside




but they are temporary relief.









      maybe my heart
          will burn for you

forever.



or maybe i should
give up spicy foods
before bedtime.

    This made me giggle. ^^ [but I have no idea who wrote this because it isn't showing up on my "new additions by favourites" list]
    Question though: are you comparing me to indigestion? And if so, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

    Haha, anyway. This was really enjoyable to read and well-written, even in its humorous state.

    Thanks for entering!

        Aw, hun, it's not obnoxious. :]
        And the author's notes made me think it was you, but I didn't know because "nickel romeo" showed up as your most recent write.
