Beyond The Flame

Sometimes I’m hot
Sometimes you’re cold
Sometimes it’s more than I
Can hold inside me to bear
This awakening flame

You infuriate me
You make me want to throw things
And stamp my feet
Exasperated
With a passion I have never known
And I love every moment of it
I’ve never been so alive

You push me to be more
Than daring
To see more than danger
To live more than just
A moment in the ache
Of sensual need

I need that
I want you
I would trade every
Calm, tranquil moment
Of my past
Every safe well-considered path
For that long awaited moment
When I ignite
And you explode inside me
