Heat

it is the feeling of lust
burning deep in your chest
and seeping out the corners of her eyes

it is the smell of cinder and ash
and campfire smoke
smoldering outside your room

it is the taste of her tongue
and the passion of yours

it is the sound of screams 
of both agony and ecstasy
of both love and hate

it is the sight of her limbs 
tangled up in yours
bare bodies
soaking sheets with sweat
