Sweet Hunger

The desire wells up inside me
and I feel near to bursting
my needs so close to the surface
churning with passion
this sweet hunger is all consuming
as I devour the fragrence of your flesh
the heady saltiness of lust stinging my tongue
I am the fire,
you are the oxygen that fuels the flame
forever burning on a hot bed of embers
that will never die from hunger
Oh, the sweet hunger that drives the passion
between two souls
I am drunk on your wines.

aweee that was so fine Trudy. The line "you are the oxygen that fuels my flame" really took me. You are the pen which makes me draw surfaces o'er my heart:) Love Chitra
