' ' ' ' ' Fire Set On Fire! Poem by Dónall Dempsey

' ' ' ' ' Fire Set On Fire!

Rating: ★2.8


Your nakedness
encounters my nakedness

the moonlight
falls from your shoulders

as I dress you
in kisses...caresses

cover your flesh
with the flesh of my flesh

until we no longer are
aware which flesh is ours

translated as we are
beyond the bounds

of our
desire

fire
set on
fire!

fire set on fire is a very exact metaphor when it comes to a passionate union of lovers...
