Love Letters.

Dip your fingers in an ink made of flames.

Calligraphy across the blushing terrain of my back,

Dancing like fiery tunnels of wind along my shoulders,

You send ignited tidal waves up my spine,

Crashing over my head to the time of 

Our racing hearts. 

Why are your lips saturated with 

The sweetest strawberry wine,

And why have I become addicted?

Why are you the only anchor strong enough

To render me motionless, when I have been

Perpetually following a current to nowhere?

I am a pool of gasoline, and you a stray cigarette

Just the briefest of kisses can reduce this world to 

Ash and smoke. 

We are the most gorgeous form of dangerous,

You're a torch always hungry for fuel, and I'm

Begging you to warm me up.

Your eyes are aflame… Is it a reflection of my own,

Or are you on fire, too?

Are you going to stand by and watch me burn,

Or will you join me in the flames until 

We feel nothing but the heat between us,

Until we forget how it feels

To be frozen?

You trace your name in searing cursive along my body,

Don't whisper your lover letters to me

Write them from my neck to my hips with 

The sparks that shoot from your fingers

Until plumes of smoke rise from the pores in my skin,

Until we are not gas and flame, but one blinding explosion

One core of blazing heat, one rippling ignition that 

Melts the ice in our hearts, 

Until we hear them beating, 

Until we feel the blood in our veins again.

It made my heart flutter, takes me back to the first time I got to see the love of my life after so long... The electricity, the heat- I was hanging on your ever word. Amazing

Good write Leaf. You have written your love with such passion that i was smitten in thought

[MomzillaNC]

Passionate… very moving description of that first new love heat.

This is an immensely powerful work. You've gripped me with your words of passion. The way you pair gasoline with fire, the way you emphasize the heat between two people. It's amazing how you could display such a passionate scene to me in the form of words alone. I'm in love with this love, can't wait to read more from you!

Very nice use of words.

Love does in fact, sound very much like this. With every kiss or even a touch there are fireworks to be found. This poem depicts that very moment that you realize you might be in love. I wish you luck! Great poem :)
