Embers Sear the Hardwood Floor

Love burns inside us, feeding on everything. ~<3

the motions blurring in my stomach devour me
 as if butterflies weren't butterflies,
 firebugs setting my soul ablaze
in my desire for you

it consumes me

like a locust's ravenous swarm upon the earth,
your lips corrode my thoughts away
into the the open nothingness
conscious things decay

Struggle between our senses
growled deeply like a passionate kiss to our bruised lips, both
out of breath with animal instincts crying out
"love,  love, our love"
my love apparent to you in more ways than one
as we burn
and keep each other warm,

well into the night and early morn
