Fahrenheit 104º

By The Golden Pen

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The room went up in flames!Set ablaze by the intensity...Nevertheless, tell me--who really is to blame? On the night-stand, one single candleconsumed itself too quickly...I guess the heat was too hot to handle!So it burned itself out from the intensity. The atmosphere, too,was so hot and sticky,mingled with sweat, humidity, and dew.And the density of this steamy night!Add to this the carnal heatOf two bodies grinding togetherbetween satin sheets,Like two matches hitting against sulfer...As they combust and ignite!!! Oh! The temperature rose to 104ºF consuming everything until all was gone!A 5- alarm fire,enveloping the very soul of passion,now, do tell me, please...who really is to blame?The candle, the hot sticky summer’s eve,or the heat between the sheets!
