You are not
the "high" setting on a stove top,
your touch burning my skin and
leaving my insides raw.
one with hands like defibrillators,
sending jolts through my body
and making me feel alive.
a Southern Californian brushfire,
wild, uncontrollable,
bringing my walls down.
forever.
[forever is a good book and hot chocolate
on a soothing rainy night.
forever is the soft lighting and
searing heat of a candle's flame.]
forever.
