Spontaneous Combustion

Twin flames
find each others
fire inside.  

Feet soles
walk on coals
without pain.

Flames lick
at their legs
scorching heat.

Lava rises
from depth of
their being.

Deep penetration
of burning desire
stokes fire.

Such intensity
eventually leads to
spontanious combustion.

Thank you Greg. In comparison to you, I'm the spark, not the fire.

You know Charlie I have no training? My poems always fly out of me on a wing and a prayer...typed with two fingers. I keep waiting for someone to burst my baloon. Thank you.
