touch me with your fire

CC0 Public Domain

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
