heat

I stood, motionless and indifferent
To your splendor
As you beckoned me to join
And divulge my soul
Into your shifting rays.

Not wanting to move,
My eyes betrayed me
As it reflected my longing
To taste your warmth.

As if in answer,
Your body burned with such
Ardent glow; and I
Can do nothing but sweep
The endless distance between us.

My skin flushed with searing heat
As you bathed me with your fiery blaze.
I could not recall how you enticed me
With your fervid and flamed rays,
For your blistering passion
Had me bound in your surreal world.

As dusk arrived,
You left my body, burnt;
And spirit, arid.

But I shall forget and heal my scorches
From this previous falling
Realizing that you are
But a phantasm
Of my sun-struck mind.

You will no longer be remembered.
