Goddess

She smiles at me with words unsaid
     My heart unfolds and crumples
Like an old newspaper
     To kindle a fire

She whispers to me softly
     and tiny wisps of smoke
Unfurl to warm my heart
     And burn me with desire

She thrills me with her touching hands
     My body starts to smolder
My heart ignites in flames
     And the flames climb higher

She pulls me close inside her
     Now seared in naked warmth
Conscious thought reduced to ash
     My only thought, to satisfy her

And then as we are welded, joined,
     In Love's ultimate embrace
The blaze engulfs, the world is gone
     But the oneness she inspires.

As fires lag we lie entwined
     In the glowing embers of love
My hands seeks to caress her
     but my soul, to deify her.

She shimmers from that pedestal
     Where I've placed her, her admirer
But who can blame one consumed in love
     Who has found his Goddess of Fire.
