What are you
Like ember rushing to my veins and slowly consuming me,
Alighting, flickering, spreading and burning me in its heat.
What are you
Like a sprawling wave, crawling gently to the shore,
Gathering momentum and crashing into my deep core.
What are you
Like a dormant volcano erupting and its heat getting higher and higher,
Unnerving, and moving in a world of smouldering explosion.
What are you
Like a million tiny stars in the galaxy converging to an orbit,
Exploring, illuminating and shattering all my senses.
What are you
Like a heavy downpour after an otherwise dry season,
Streaming over me and engulfing me in the process.
What are you
Like a streak of lightning, causing illumination
Blinding me, coveting me with your gaze and touch
