Red Flag Warning

Contained
Human shell
Written word

Inhibition
The bindings
Tightlaced

Megawatt
Starfire


Tease the edges
Venomous flesh falls
Into decay

Scintillating inferno
Writhing in the flames
Impassioned irises
Ignite and erupt

Fill me up
Vermillion
Impassioned
Incinerating

Flames bear
Their tongues
In a million
Flickers

Licking
Probing
Smoldering

Come now

Burning and brilliant
Lay down in the ashes
Beside me

Bear your offerings

I, Molten,
Slithering in
Reptilian ways

Charcoal scales
Hiss and crackle

Obsidian talons
Reach out

Carnassial fangs
Dent blackened lips

Fill me a bounty

Beautiful
In its darkness

Blistering
In its heat

Dripping delicious
In sordid freedom

Blazing
Incendiary

Just like me
