I dreamed you before I knew your name-
a pulse beneath my skin,
a shadow in the heat of night.
You rose in me like stormlight,
silent at first,
then sudden as thunder.

I reach for you in every silence,
in every hour that dares to pass
without the press of your mouth on mine.
There is a hunger in me
no sleep can quiet,
no distance can dim.

Your breath,
if I could taste it now,
would undo me.
Your touch-
I imagine it,
slow as flame
devouring all restraint.

I want to speak to you
not with words,
but with every inch of my skin-
to say what the tongue cannot:
I am yours.Entirely.

You live in my blood now,
a fever I do not want to break.
There is no cure for this-
only surrender.

So come-
tear through me like wildfire.
Let this love
be the eruption
that shatters everything
but you and me.
