Love

It’s a fire
burning through my fortresses
liquidizing my veins
extinguishing all sense of reason
igniting all forgotten hope,
and searing through my heart

It’s a cool and refreshing drink
on a hot and sunny day.
Trekking through the scorching desert,
all I do is fantasize
about that single drop of joy
to quench my thirsty needs.

It’s my forbidden secret,
hiding under the bed
night and day I tend to it
Hurting as it grows.
