Clay

I am like clay

Mold me into someone more like me,

Vixen

One smile

And I am reminded of the softness of your lips,

the promise of the sweetness in your mouth.

One laugh

And I am lifted to a plane of music beyond sound,

Your voice,

A song,

Deep,

that makes me tremble

all

the

way

down.

Your words,

a melody far sweeter than anything known to me.

One glance,

And the heat is so intense that I must look away.

For I am molten lava,

Burning,

Hard,

Bright,

but I fear the inferno that is...me

Overwhelming me

But there is a wall so big and thick

that now begins to crumble.

And the flood,

the rushing nectar of life covers me,

the flame is extinguished

and I find the ecstasy of

Release.
