Burning for You

This has no affiliation with BÖC aside from the title

The way your eyes sear me,

With each silvery look you give,

They way your fingers scorch my skin,

With each feather-light touch,

 

I burn for you.

 

The way your lips curl into a smile,

Each time I say those three words,

And the emotion in your voice,

When you say them back

Sets my heart ablaze

 

I yearn for you.

 

Each memory of our time together,

That blissful summer

That seems so long ago

When we sat by the ice caves,

Or when I fell asleep in your arms

While nostalgic movies played

 

I ache for you.

 

The way you clutched me in the night,

Breathed my name into my ear,

While our desire reached frenzy,

And bruised us both with passion

 

I quake for you.

 

The way all that seemed a dream,

How they keep me from falling,

Into monotonous insanity

I count down the days

Until I’m dreaming again

 

I wait for you.

Burning doesn't always need fire

But you do light a fire in my heart with your love, Kate. I really like this one, it's passionate and strong, and the form is uniquely yours.
