Foreplay

I am fire
My limbs dance and curl
My soul flickers and flashes
 His breath
 Makes me burn more fiercely,
Passionately,
Ardently.
I dance for him
Swaying seductively
Daring him to touch me.
Daring him to near me
But at the same time
Making him fear me.
He plays with me
Carefully blows on me
Blows me out
Lights me up again
He comes closer
Pulls away quickly
Suddenly I like this game
I burn on
He sighs
And I am gone.


Now I am ashes.
