If desires are a flame, then I am a wildfire.

For I burn to be with you

Uncontained, untamed, rising ever higher.

It’s not the world I long to consume,

But you.

You sparked me with a single glance,

Now I blaze in a fevered trance.

No gentle ember, no slow ignite

You lit me fully, all at once, alight.

I burn for the curve of your voice in the dark,

For the matchstick thrill of your every spark.

Every breath you take fuels my flame,

And I scorch at the whisper of your name.

I would raze the skies just to touch your skin,

Let the fire tear through everything.

I don’t want calm I want to ache,

To feel you in every breath I take.

And if I burn down all I knew

So be it. I burn for you.
