FIRE

Watching

across a crowded room

we never spoke about

the things that really mattered

simply

a sugar coated series of niceties

failing to understand that our true thoughts converge with madness

of the

most

delightful kind

So many words lie burning upon the tongue

that cannot speak

yet

always yearning

both unwilling to end the perfectness

of it all

with scornful reality

A beautiful deception dances enticingly

Tangled

within dangerous thoughts

of rapturous sex

just one moment

to touch

taste

lust for the flesh under fingernails

that burns so beautifully

when you see it in your mind

I see that fire in your eyes

And I wonder

why I always miss my opportunity
