2AM Thoughts

Learning to love gently.

Her silken fingertips like velvet matches, branding my bare skin with whisper-soft promises of intimacy.

The bonfire in my head was blazing unchecked, unheeding heart, dizzy with desire.

No time to pull away before my body collapsed into hers.

A building on fire.

Sought to quench it in her oceanic eyes but got absorbed in the sweat rolling off her body. 

Droplets of gasoline; I burn faster.

Still she caught me like a falling star, slipping past her teeth.

Swallow me whole.

Meteorite in her mouth, I must have scorched her tongue.

This demanding inferno will consume us both. Inhaling smoke, she is a firefighter braving the smoldering ruins of my anatomy.

I should've predicted it when she went up in flames. 

Crumbling ash sifting between my fingers. 

Perspiring limbs reaching for the pile of cinders beside my pillowcase, with the window closed shut so they wouldn't blow away.
