A BURNING DESIRE
by Shawn Malzahn
"A Burning Desire"
Passions burn like the fair-skinned fool fast asleep baking belly-up amid the arid lands of a desolate desert at high-noon. Unquenchable, the thirst of desire dehydrates the mind of tranquility, inducing marvelous mirages that mirror mans unactuated sexual ambitions. Hijacked and bewitched by this bandit of cognition, sensuality soon swoops and seize the train of thought, derailing it from the tracks of logic, leaving one lost in the midst of mighty emotions. Waves of lust crash down against the walls of heart, beating the bell that beckons blood to boil and congregate for mass in the middle of man's member preparing for the religious service of an intimate encounter. Hypnotized by the pendulum of perverted phantasy, hungry eyes see sinister sights in the most ordinary of icons. Drunk on the Devil's Drink the delirious mind fashions and forms the features of our world into malignant metaphors soaked in sultry. Words, phrases, familiar faces and places become symbols of invocation that arouse animalistic instincts deep within the loins of mankind. Vampires I say! We seek to seduce and surmount the unsuspecting fleshlings of our romantic infatuations by sinking deep the fangs of fictitious fronts into the napes of those who accept them. Our bulging bodies become swelled like clouds sopping full of rapturous rain seeking to release itself upon the winds of pleasure, scattered among the many fields of fornication for the sake of sexual satiation, but yet, our means bring not an end to the crazed monkey of mind swinging to and fro the branches of lust and desire, restless from the rampage of ravishment, ready to sacrifice our souls for the sake of self-gratification deriving from casual encounters of the corporeal kind. How sad indeed this state of affairs we find ourselves - how sad indeed.
