Coals of Desire
Desire
is not a fire.
It is more like
burning coals
never letting you feel whole
When you have had
but are not having
Absence is felt
Coals can not incinerate,
they may only melt
they can drive you
keep you going
keep you searching
but may only rouse flames
when resting inside
a lush fireplace
tended to by a robust poker.
Heed the coal’s calls:
Search, Blind Mole
Feed the coals
Satiate,
Incinerate
the emptiness
Feed it more! More! A Feast!
the flames increased
Desire
uncoils
and hisses with glee
sniffing your libido with split flickering tongue.
