Primal Fire

image by Joseph Lorusso

Lover, make me burn for you
like iron for a blacksmith
Make me glow with heat
Sculpt me
Shape me
Make me melt and then
Rearrange my molecules
to your liking
Let our heat be so intense
onlookers take a step back
and shield their eyes from our light
yet remain mesmerized
by the primal fire.
