When did this flame spark?

Deep, in the traces of my being.

Candor ascends the essence like a narcotic.

Seduced by illicit longing and tangled in ambivalence.

Blissful imagination, a theme from but a shared plot.

From where did this yearning arise?

A conduit of vitality, the seductive timbre of your voice,

The warmth of it swathes the center of me.

Your tone kindle melodies I'd forgotten.

Radiate on vibrant decibels confided from your lips-to my ears.

How do I yield to this?

The constant craving for

what my intuition delivers.

Every scrap and fiber of my being engaged in vital allure.

Shimmering on prisms of forbidden pleasure.

My resistance is simply none.
