Smoldering

She feels the need rising up from her core
Ever waiting to burst into fire
Insatiable, always in need for more

Smoldering ember of her desire 
Orange heat pulsating from deep within
Ever waiting to burst into fire

No breeze can cool this, her hot searing skin
Savage her need to combust into flame
Orange heat pulsating from deep within 

Her galloping passion wild and not tame
She rides fiery flares all through the night
Savage her need to combust into flame

The hunger in her eyes makes him ignite
She pulls him into her internal blaze
She rides fiery flares all through the night

His body kindling that lights in her gaze
She feels the need rising up from her core
She pulls him into the internal blaze
Insatiable, always in need of more

:) How sweet of you! Yes, sometimes adding spice to the chicken is MUCH safer, no? ;) Well, we will see when this HEAT wave passes. Hopefully there won't be too many burnt bodies left in the wake! LOVE ALWAYS....EILEEN

Your first one and it is brilliant! I had no doubt. Sometimes the best help is no help. You are a natural and this reads like magic. Well done, you should be very proud of your work. The second will be easier. It will however be difficult to top this exceptional piece. 777777 fav

Really, Richard? No doubt! It squeezed my mind to the limits....I had to delete my first posting, but I'm a hopeless perfectionist and once you told me I needed another stanza...I couldn't let it stand...limping! Thanks for pointing that out! You know how I feel about your terzanelle, so this post is doubly precious! 7 and a fav. I'm honored, Richard.

"Need", "Pulls", "Hunger", "Pulsating"...yes. I approve of this message. So, while I dive in a body of water somewhere in the Arctic, I will applaud you in grand unison while I cool off.
