Consuming Desire

A poem about love, with a surprising twist.

Consuming Desire
by Lisa McCourt Hollar

My heart sings
Hearing his voice
His words of love
A whispered orchestra
Played for me alone.

Dancing, souls intertwined
My heart races
Beating loudly
Our lips draw near
Anticipating.

Darkness engulfs me
Consuming my soul
Enticing me to the edge
Maddness and desire
Calling me home.

Falling Into his eyes
His kiss stills time
Our heart beating as one
His will becoming my own
And suddenly I am his.

Burning with desire
His kiss upon my neck
My blood rushing
He drinks from open wound.
My life sustaining him.
