Fireball

a yearning of alabaster guilt given birth from this mouth of words mesmerising like rings of Saturn, behold encroached by your retort, cutting if not comic, life adjacent to corners of some death, you lit fires with a tongue and let them burn reeling in oceans, as salamander heads lined exotic craters of timely eruptions yet honey melts heaven in a single kiss

I felt such intensity with your words, Clive. I especially liked 'you lit fires with a tongue and let them burn' Powerful words that spoke to me. Good to see you again at PS. Have a pleasant weekend, Sara
