    Burn

    Have I wasted seconds?
    Have I wasted the wetness of sight?

    Moving slowly,
    Slowly --
    From head to foot.

    Passion
    Heats the furnace,
    Sears the pulsing blood.

    There -- your lips.
    There -- your hands.

    What can fingertips teach
    But the sensation of
    Loneliness chased away?

    Have I wasted breath --

    There -- your calves.
    The breadth of your shoulders...

    What can scent teach
    But the relief of you
    Filling my lungs?

    Every moment before a moment wasted.

    The caress of heat,
    A slow, fervent burn
    Over....

    ...whelms...

    Aflame,

    I awake.

    very good so full of passion i could feel it my favorite part, "what can finger tips teach but the sensation of loneliness chased away. " that really grabs you.

    Thank you. I am also looking forward to your poetry. Please write more!!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
