Cool Passion

{He}

Moisture wells from in to out

The sky drapes its dress

Quiescently, you tilt your head and pout

Your shoulder kisses a tiny tress


Vapor is breathed on the glass

A tantalizing blaze flaring from behind

Fumbling your hair into a clump of morass

Skintight, our souls entwined


As we sublime seconds quicker than a blink 

your heart throbs, I flutter

and let out a soft whine in sync

I remember you like the taste of butter


{She}

An icy hot bath melts 

our raw hearts transpire

roses are planted all over your svelte

body as my undying desire


Gases gushes out from my pore

as we boil ourselves a temperature too high

my teeth still sizzle and I am ready to roar

hereby you lean in and charge my oversupply


Maybe I need a cup of water

to dilute the enkindled fire,

or else a lamb to the slaughter

could be me stuck with a liar
