flesh (Remove filter)
Close to the fire
I'm on the edge of myself,
where skin is not enough
and desire spreads
like a nameless flame.
On your body - a mirror of absence -
I search for myself:
a burning instant
between now and nevermore.
The flesh longs for verb,

That burns without being explained?
It is a torment that is not mine
But invades me, devours me under the moonlight
