Dream Lover

I am burning
the fire of my yearning
flashpoints of a thousand
sparkling maybes without oxygen,
your eyes fanning the flames

I am flying
my heart is melting
molten in its beating
falling
I’ve flown too close
your sun burns my clipped wings

I am swimming
the depth of my feeling
wets your lips
crashing
through the warm waters
your riding the crest of my wave

I am grounded
my wanting earthern,
base in its desire
plowing
the fire diminishing
your skin yields to my touch
