FEVER Hold me through this fearful night to keep the spectors chill away Let death hold off a little while to raise his scythe another day Love me from that secret depth of passions lusty fire Burned in the molten magma of your fountain of desire Hold me in your fevered grip, so close, so sweet a kiss Our love's eternal struggle of the flesh fills every wish We press our bodies hard, so hard together in ours throes Entwined as maddened animals our steamy nectar flows We scream the cry of spent release our breath a frenzied storm Exploding as a novaed star beyond the realm of form We kiss the rain of summer from our bodies moist with sweat And taste those secret places that no lover may forget B.E.
