Symmetry

A fire within
combustion of sin
flames of embers
scolding Septembers
nights of desire
a smouldering pyre
lustful intentions
carnal inventions
bodies intertwined
lovers aligned
sizzling egos fighting
touching, kissing, biting
that burning deep inside
where true hunger resides
driving the mind insane
between pleasure and pain
symbiotic they are born
like a rose with its thorn
never apart, always together
completion of one another
both beautiful and ugly
two parts that fit…
