I want to stretch you to the stars
Unlock all your windows and doors
Take you to a romantic peak you’ve never been to before
Turn up the music on the way
Only pop and rock and roll
Then rest your jet-lagged soul
Since it’s not just these words
I’m fluent in touch too
Once ignited there’s
No tidal wave on Earth
That could put me out
I have full mastery
Over the flames
So hot I could burn endlessly
Even as a fire in Antarctica
Feel my heat just one time
And they’ll hear your screams
From the land of the free and the home of the brave
All the way across the sea to the highest point of the Himalayas
But—please!—don’t let your mother read these feelings
Because I was grounded when my mother read yours

Haha, love it Ben. Sensual, but with a humours twist.
Haha. Thanks. I was thinking of Shel Silverstein. As a kid I just loved his poems.
Oh that is so great! So cool to hear this.
Very exciting, loved it, and then the splash of water sousing the flames of passion at the end haha. The title gives fair warning but still was a challenge not to get hot and bothered lol. 😉🔥💦🙌
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts!
A very well done piece of work! Love the ending line!

True. “Groundbreaking feelings”. I really like that phrase. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Enjoyed this!
Nice! Cool that you did.
Oh this takes me back to older, younger days. Summer love and love in the air. This is wonderfully penned down. Love the analogies so much. ✨
Thanks for all you said. When we’re young summer love feels so nice and right. But as we grow we wish for a love for all seasons, I think.
Yes, definitely. For all seasons, of all years. So so beautifully written and relatable.
