Seasons of Passion

In this long dry summer 
my skin thirsts 
for the touch 
of your strong hands 
stroking caressing holding

Let the monsoon 
of your lips 
rain on my 
parched body 
reviving renewing refreshing

Fill me with the 
fiery red and gold 
of autumn 
as you colour 
my senses 
Possessing thrusting erupting 

Melt the ice 
encasing my soul 
Thaw the winter 
of neglect 
with your heat 
Burning scorching scalding

Open me up 
to the joys of spring 
so I can blossom 
once more
