Smidgens
Ardor Sustenance
Your heat is about me
It is a blanket, a cloak of feverishness
An eternal wrap of rays
Heating my outer shell ……brittle
Seeping into my inner softness.
At times you hold me too tight…then
I become a burner, whitest of flame
As if the air within my throat
Turns to wet fire and light
And whoever I touch
(Even the world)
Will be singed, burnt into glow
I’m in denial of your grip
Burrowing inside tall greenhouses
Filled with the hazy scent of air conditioner
My numbed fingers upon triggers,
Computer keys full of messages
About you, in response to you
Talk of sustaining our relationship
I see you spying upon me
Dampened by tinted windows
Only a simple film divides us
Your eyes are too bright
Not to be noticed
Once they have laid their gleam
Knowing I have caught you
You enter…….extending your touch
Lovingly
Upon my naked arm
