Fiery Love

Have you felt a fiery love? Like the 

One that lingers on the tongue after 

The words are gone? Or burns in the heart 

Of every fighter losing a war?

The body craves it with yearning, a love

that gnashes teeth and sinks them into skin

Feeling the sanguine heat of satisfaction rising

Burning hot with the taste of metal

A love that parts the lips to profess 

Letting only ashes tumble out  

as the wind blows them away to

Whistle a love song through outstretched hands
