Greek Fire (As I Burn with Desire)

As I burn with desire
My brain’s aflame with wantin’
For you are my Greek fire.

Your dream-form I try to capture.
Pillows breathe, sheets become skin,
As I burn with desire.

The road to a place of sulphur
I pave with thoughts forbidden,
For you are my Greek fire

A blaze that will not smother
Consumes my straw-soul with sin
As I burn with desire.

‘Lord, spare me from this danger! ’
I fall on hands and knees, prayin’,
For you are my Greek fire.

You belong to another!
Yet, Lust in the night is callin’,
As I burn with desire
For you. You: My Greek fire.

Note: from Wikipedia: 'Greek fire was a burning-liquid weapon used by the Byzantine Empire, typically in naval battles to great effect as it could continue burning even on water. '
