touch me with your fire

your eyes
touch me
with fire
and my skin bursts
into flame
with the power
of your gaze
the delicious
heat of your eyes
sparks and crackles
ignites my soul
and consumes me
whole
my body
is just kindling
for your fire
my heart
a powderkeg
for your match
my life
a dry bed
awaiting your
torch
burn away
my tarnish
and dross
let me
shine in
the light
of your
fire
