Flee Not This Flame

Not now: An un-invitation

Unrestrained passion

That conjurer of portal thresholds

rimmed not with flame

but inferno

Otherworldly heat

begets

other worlds

Fires that defy natural laws

reason

constraints of flesh and blood

For consummation

only terrifies the unholy

Surrender

NOT understanding

seeks protection here

Heights of pleasure find breeding grounds

Flights of leisure feel immortality sounds

Yet blaze still yearns for more

as every piece of matter in you must ignite

Explode your expanse

Absorb totality of wayward fight

There can be no other way

to take such path’s unspoken vow

Yield to its fire and yield to now

No thing in thee shall be left unchanged

No brush of lip

nor curve of chest

Desire’s heights

unleased its best

There is

no

road back

but do not weep

For when intensity wanes

after ethereal flame has won

Celestial ash will bless past suffering

and transform worlds

of twain

into world of ceaseless one
