By Donovan Baldwin

Poet's words like Molten embers 

Erotic stories he remembers

She inhales his searing thought

Igniting Flames she has fought..

In secret to contain,

But no longer can restrain.

Her back arched, bows to the Muse

Battle fought, now she must lose...

Love's arrows pierce her eager skin

Willing target lets them in...

Her body full of passion's fires,

Her mind toward ecstasy aspires.

Her lips burned by the poet's flame,

Speaks his words, cries out his name.

She is consumed, but not forlorn

For like a Phoenix fast reborn.

From the eager flames that bite

She rises glowing into the night.

Now he's her victim on her bed,

As she circles overhead.

In her mind the words remain,

Echoing again again...

She draws her poet to her breast,

Until the next fires they shall rest.
