Temperature’s
Rising
Baby
Sweat pours
Down my face

Legs weak
Can’t speak
Muted by
Desires
And fires
Hotter than
Hell
Ready to burn
My inferno
Raging
Blazing
High

Hands reaching
Grasping
Lungs breathless
Gasping
Eyes pleading
Needing
That
… Sweet…
…..Warm…
…….Release…

Shake me to the core
Make me beg for more
Singe me with your
Pyrotechnics
Those brilliant
Bright fireworks
…Sizzling…
…..Scorching …
…….Starving …
………Flesh…

I’m combustible
Flammable
Liquid desire
Baby
Make me
Burn
Hotter
Brighter
...Consumed…
.....I'm on fire...
I've got a fever baby
And it's rising ever higher
But oh ...

...what a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way ...
... to burn ...
