Unveiled

Today I feel you
Drawing me to you
War-like
But silently waiting...
I am tempted
By the furious calling of you
But dare not turn to you
For you are the destruction of my world
_______________

Is there an echo of pain?
A stifled sob of longing
A turning of the mind
ever-so-slightly
to glance,
quick
at the sweet taboo
A fight to evade the scalding grasp of truth
within a mere hair's breadth...
Thoughts,
slightly singed
eyes tearing.
But the mind looks resolutely ahead
denying the traces of burning flesh...
