Burnin’

Mad in love

I’ve lost my head

and with it too my reason

 

fallen away

lost in the dust of sanity

 

my heart calling your name

drawn down now

to a hoarse whisper of yearning

 

I ride blind

through the fevered darkness of longing

astride the rippled sinew of passion

 

gripping reins of desire

slick with wanting

 

the night alive

soaked with frustration’s tears

each falling like a razored blade

cutting deeper my soul

 

your memory a ghost horse

eluding me

as I smolder in the sweat of lust

 

my fantasies afire

your voice is the flame

that burns the horizon to ash

 

I chase anyway—

 

this endless gallop through ruin and rapture

where love is the madness

and this madness is what drives me on
