Allured by fire


allured by fire
the double edged sword
creating a mesmerizing spell
pulling me into its beauty
sparks powerful mysteries
fascinating luminous energy
enticing me ever closer
longing to be near
kindling embers thought long dead
spontaneously igniting
erotic dances in the flames
uncontrollable heat
transforming all you caress
I reach out to touch you
rapidly consuming me
I step back
shield myself
remembering the suffering
protected from future torment
within your blaze
divine or devastating
