Embers and Ice

Embers and Ice

Embers slide down my spine and come to rest in my belly
A chill wind blows past my ear and my bangs fall across my eyes
An all consuming emptiness fills me like like the echo of sounds unheard
As a shadow only appears in bright light and shade in the light of day

I long for the smell of your breathe in my face and the musk of your sweat
I need the sound of your panting breathe and the shuddering sighs
A trembling touch along my arm and my hair stand on end
An electric sense of presence presciently causes a skip of my heart

The more I have the more I want the more I give the more I share
The more I share the more I need the more desire builds between us
And the fire builds and spreads until the conflagration cannot stop
A waking dream that doesn't end and that sleep can't end

Embers and ice dance between us igniting and quenching desire
A cycle of love and lust that burns without consuming 
Frenetic actions only the pause between the intensity of sensations
Satiated rest only the pause that gives passage to new explorations
