In Response to “Passion”

This is in response to Shidonae’s poem Pas­sion.

And the night of numb­ness gives way to fire. Fire in eyes, fire in breath, fire in touch. A burn­ing that only div­ing head-​first into smol­der­ing wet­ness will relieve.

“Let go,” he said, and she gazed back uncom­pre­hend­ingly through half-​lidded eyes. She had no thoughts left to process the series of sounds he uttered. Yet, his mean­ing was clear; sur­ren­der.

And as claws of steel entered her above and below, as hun­gry teeth peeled the skin off her nip­ple, as real­ity became a slip­pery fish in her soapy hands, she thought, So this is what it feels like…

And then she let go.
then she let go.
she let go.
let go.
go.

Yum.

I adore this piece. It has such a different feel to it. Mirroring transformation. Mirroring the alchemy that’s happening beneath the surface. Its core is anchored in freedom, in needs sated, in lust spilled over… What wonderful, beautiful, life-altering truths.

A breath of fresh-air for all who catch a glimpse of this flame. (And as a side-note: I love the way that Fire demands Breath. The way that Fire feeds and grows and intensifies.)

Thank you for showing up, Dreamwalker.

And thank you, Shidonae, for the inspiration!

soft kisses to all
