if the world should burn down around us
your kisses would still be summer wine
bleeding from my lips.
i would still need to have you,
i'm an alcoholic
drunk on the thought of your love.
your fire would consume me
in a numbing embrace
fingers dancing up my
shoulders
collarbone
neck
lips
in lovely tingles
until the skin holding me together
melts,
my heart
falling out of my body.
and god
the very thought of you
warns danger -
but desire overwhelms me
and i fall deeper and deeper
into flames.
if the world were to burn
i would be ash scattered at your feet.
i would be swept into the air
on the winds of your love
every fiber of my being,
longing to be with you
every whisper of
affection would
scatter me
until even i
didn't know what had
become of me
the rain would beat me into the ground
until even the dust couldn't recognize me
and still,
I would fertilize the soil
hoping that the flowers that sprouted
would catch your attention
long enough for you to pick them
and smile.
if we were to burn
i would pray that our fire
would burn hot enough
to consume us both.
i would feed your flames with gasoline
until they devastated mine
and we disappeared
into the smoke -
intertwined with each other
forever.
I would burn down the world
for you.
for forever.
