The Fireplace

a warm home grown on your skin
of a golden glow flickering paper thin
as the red hot log emits a crack and a hiss..
our stimulated minds meet at passion's kiss

a tightening embrace of a bronze statue
melting her heart, she surrenders her virtue
the marble floor stages a horizontal pirouette
a fire dance of static, blazing silhouettes
