Senses Alight
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
