I’ve tasted your hunger
felt it burn through your skin
as fingers start to trace
a path where the embers lay
the kindling starts to burn
as night slowly sets in
here we are shadows
here we blend with the night
yet there is still the fire
wrestling between the sheets
hidden yet burning, blazing
like ripples, turning to waves
as the fire dies down
hunger already satiated
under the sheets we lie
tangled our limbs remained
