In the Mouth of Desire

In the mouth of desire
your words drip fire,
enticing me to the pyre
of a singular quagmire
where you are the supplier
of this drug called love.

Thank you. Short poetry seems to be my Forte. I enjoyed your entry. "Our sweat had sweat." I think most of us can appreciate that on the Hot July days.
