Hotness<\/p>\n
Scorching hotness<\/p>\n
A spark coming to life<\/p>\n
To consume and ravage and spurn<\/p>\n
Tongues of fiery glee<\/p>\n
Shooting blood and crimson<\/p>\n
Glowing orange and yellow<\/p>\n
Burning, burning, burning<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sweltering and sweaty<\/p>\n
Sticky and slapping<\/p>\n
Skin against skin<\/p>\n
Rubbing, massaging and squeezing<\/p>\n
Itching and stenching<\/p>\n
Of creeping naked limbs<\/p>\n
And musky breasts<\/p>\n
Of old discarded socks<\/p>\n
And cool frooti drinks<\/p>\n
Bathed in water<\/p>\n
Swimming in sweat<\/p>\n
Drip-drop, drip-drop<\/p>\n
Little droplets collecting in pools<\/p>\n
And flowing in streams<\/p>\n
Steady and stinking and stale<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And then a cool juicy plant<\/p>\n
Leaves all turgid and watery<\/p>\n
Glossy and green and soft<\/p>\n
Cooling refreshing<\/p>\n
Flakes and shards of ice<\/p>\n
Piercing and plunging<\/p>\n
The hearts of hell!<\/p>\n
In the deep abyss<\/p>\n
Of sweltering hotness<\/p>\n
Bursting a fountain of ice<\/p>\n
Breaking and crumbling glaciers<\/p>\n
Sliding and smashing against<\/p>\n
With devilish glee<\/p>\n
Of fury and heat<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A crackling rage and sweet nector<\/p>\n
Of golden apples and tart mangoes<\/p>\n
Birds humming and buzzing<\/p>\n
A tune of heated dalliance<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
