“promised pleasures secreted in this urgent kiss”
filled with passion’s yearning
my captive soul is set ablaze
there’s a fire within me burning
before I am but all consumed
quench me with your precious kiss
if I am to be consumed
let it be by bliss

Love those last lines, especially, Rob. Wonderful.
Thank you for visiting De. Glad you enjoyed this!
“my captive soul is set ablaze” about says it all…
I remember when the fire burned white hot Jade… memories! Thank you for visiting… 🙂
“Consumed by bliss…” I like how bliss is the culmination of a poem that begins with torrid flames.
Thank you for visiting and commenting Maggie. Better to be consumed by bliss and have the torrid flames quenched by a lover’s kiss… 🙂
A very romantic piece.
Thank you Arcadia…
‘Scorched’ and ‘quenched’ are onomatopoeic, Rob – they sound like kisses! A passionate quadrille indeed!
Kim, I hear it. Cool perspective. Thank you for your kind and observant comment… 🙂
This is such a consuming fire of passion and lust and the need to be burnt in its reckoning and experience. “quench me” is a perfect title for this sensuous verse.
Thank you HA, I appreciate your gracious words!
This is beyond beautiful! 🙂 I can feel the fire, the passion and all-consuming bliss that a bond, a kiss and soul connection offers.
Thank you Sanaa! You are most generous. I am pleased this resonated for you… 🙂
Whew! I am fanning myself! 🙂
I know Lillian, a passionate love affair an make one swoon!
Hot and sexy Rob with a fabulous lyrical quality.
Thank you Linda. Your kind words are always appreciated…! 🙂
“if I am to be consumed
let it be by bliss”
I like this ending.
Thank you Alivia! Much better than scortching fire… 🙂
This is the best way I know to still a thirst.
Indubitably Bjorn… 🙂
Consumed by love!! What better way to go!?
At my age, maybe consumed by chocolate. 🙂 My grandson gets most of my love these days, though I spread it around best I can.
Yeppers! A hot quadrille, Rob. Well written and perfectly timed (poetically).
Thank you Charley, appreciate you kind words!
I like the thought of being consumed by a kiss.
Great way to be overwhelmed Frank… 🙂
Kisses are good!!
Yes, kisses are definitely good Annell! 🙂
Really cool rhythm and rhyme to the whole thing. Scorching actually, not cool, scorching.
Thank you D, i appreciate your kind words!
