my memory still burns
in smouldering recollection
of the first time
my eyes fell upon
your luscious curves
skin smooth as satin
bathed in amber glow
as you lay before me
seductive in the summer sunset
you torched my imagination
ignited my spirit
fired my soul
I wanted you so badly
to fondle you with fingertips
caress you with trembling lips
you promised such sweetness
but I’d been warned by others
who had dared partake
of your fiery charms
“it will end in tears” they said
but I did not heed their counsel
wholly and utterly seduced
I fell upon you hungrily
taking you passionately
in the lust filled moment
our union flared
hot as lava
scorching as an August sun
I was swept away
as I consumed your charms
aflame with desire
as I tasted sweet
your forbidden fruit
in a wanton blaze
I took my fill
but just as quickly
it ended
regrettably
I should have listened
they knew you all too well
you burned me badly
and left me crying
but I never will forget you…
habanero!
