Amid the Ashes

I want it so bad, it hurts
Closer and closer still
The ache seems to render an inspiration of perpetual desire
An articulation if you will
A dam of words held back
Before a flood of emotion overflows and spills on this page

You’re at the center of it all
The purpose of love and lust
So much so that I feel fractured somewhere within the depths
Even when you’re right there
The heart and mind battle
This is not a limerick, it’s just that the fire is consuming me

Yet somehow you raise me amid the ashes
