Dawn On Fire

blown apart her lewd locks of hair 
stretching arch ready to ensnare
the dawn sets itself on fire

rain hurries down to douse the heat
soaked wet, vanity you secrete 
earth also smells full with desire 

hard log flamed, I burned to ash soft
now I lie, on the ground, pride lost
unsated, some more you require

Nette, a great thank you for this very big encouragement. Before the contest was judged, I did not get any comment on this write from anyone thinking that I had got it terribly wrong. I cherished your challenge and had tried to put in my best. Glad came out flaming in the end. love and huggs. Mohan
