Transparency

I see you through my transparent fingers

     my veins entwined like roots into your soul

     my rib cage beating as it catches your heart

     our legs so close that four become but two

     melting like hot butter into our existence

Opening to you like petals of a swollen rose

      moisture of dew enhancing our passion

     as we climb to amber moonlit crescent

     of our tumultuous staircase of stars

Extinguished and burned by the very heat

     that brought us together for a while

     but now there remain only ashes, evidence

     that we flamed and sparked and blew out.
