Tinder

Tinder

Β Amber tinders how it churned
Upon swelter, lesson learned
Ne’er engage igneous fire
Ignited flesh, mars transpire

Rapt in misguided trance
Flames entwined fury dance
Within allure belies pain
Tempted by kindle reign

Wax flees midst heat
Forging hasty retreat
Blistered foolish touch
Bested by seductive clutch

Apathetic tis vexing spark
Cossets only plenary dark
Havoc simmers akin
Tattooed on vulnerable skin

enjoyed by me & then some .. I particularly liked the very subtle, almost subliminal erotic metaphor .. but then I'm just an old fella who scribbles every now & then :)
