Safe is how I feel

At home is where I am

A sweetness I savor

Beauty that reels me in

A soft hum

A calming sound

The pull of desire

In this moment

I’m grounded

My storm has calmed

Clouds have passed

A warmth spreads

A fire writhes

I’m scared to get close

Scared to burn

But the fire is intoxicating

Though I find myself

Drawn to its flame

My senses overload

It’s all too much

Yet not close to enough

I want this moment

To burn everlasting

Nothing to ruin

This newly sparked flame

A flame I can’t touch

A risk I won’t take

Though I still admire

It’s exquisite colors

Warmed by a heat

I don’t fully understand

Stunned from the beauty

Of this delicate flame

A growing spark

A reaching fervor

An all consuming passion

Threatening all I know

But I’m safe with this fire

I’m at home in it’s warmth

A sweet flavor left with me

Clinging like fragrance

It’s fuel crackling

Calming my harrowing storm

I’m grounded to this fire

The closer I draw near

My senses ignite

Caving to the pull

Of honest desire

Passion I can’t resist

With this flame

I shall live
