Desire
is
a fire
that
goes out
when
it's not stoked.
Man
started
fire.
A
fire
does
require
your
full attention once lit.
Flare-ups.
Smoke signals. Errant sparks.
Women
tend
the fire.
Desire
is
combustible
unless
retardant is applied.
Burned.
Back-fired. Scorched.
A
fire
Does
indeed need both fuel and freedom and air.
As
lightning steals its rightful thunder
We
extinguish
Without an ignition point.
