Extinguished souls




The desert flame
My lusty feet
I saunter naked
Towards your stream

I see you there
Shimmering
So close, yet so far

Drops trickle
Parched is my soul
Incandescent is my flesh
From head to toe

The fountain of youth running wild
Lures me
I wish to soak in you 
For a while

Splashing and feeling you all over
I wish to extinguish my pyre

Fire am I
Burning with passion
Water, are you
Playfully mischievous

Embers in the air
Filled my earth
Extinguished you are
I still rage.
