(WITH EACH KISS / SURRENDERING TO THE ESSENCE OF A RAVENOUS FIRE / I AM CONSUMED.) A relentless force that savors not merely the foundation of my being, but engulfs, devours me to the entirety. Subtly it roars, a hunter hungry in the silence, consuming even my bare thoughts. Branded I feel, a juxtaposition of suaveness and brutality, a searing dance of our desires. Pulled forth into a violent embrace, every touch like the strike of a predator, igniting ripples of gasping desire, aching for the echoes to never cease. Yet in the raw brutality of these throes rests an inexplicable poise, a beauty raw and poignant. In this enthralling dance of carnal passion, "I am—the consumed prey."
