Ignited

a poem

Shall we burn it down, my darling?

Shall we watch it light the sky?

Shall we bask in the seduction

Of that first kiss, you and I?

Shall we revel in the fire?

Shall we stoke that heated flame?

Shall I pour the gasoline myself

Until you scream my name?

Shall we agonize together

As we smolder from the thrill?

Strike another match, my darling,

Let us both go for the kill.
