   her petals
   to wither   then to drop
   in faithless raw

As her beauty   of the moment

in your arms
where desire besieges 
like a maiden moon,
i can hide.

But deep down inside of you
where passion and ecstacy
are heating up in smoke,
.....i want to burn
...................burn
...................burn...
