Drink me up like a hot cup of tea, slurp me, the first sip burning your tongue, scorching, tingling

Put me in your pipe and smoke it, toke it, inhale me like your favourite scent, get high on my fumes and never come down

Inject me like a drug, shoot me up, coarsing through your bloodstream like erythrocytes laden with oxygen

Tattoo me on your body, mark my name on your skin, painful and permanent, a lasting reminder of me

Bathe in me, soak in my touch, like water slightly too hot, uncomfortable and raw, ’till the skin on your fingertips wrinkles, but yet you stay

Drive me, ride me, a motorcycle hot between your strong thighs, rev me and feel my power underneath you

Bleed me, when you are cut open, sticky and wet, slow to clot, seeping away

Fall into me, disappear, a deep well, a black hole in the night sky. Time warping and the moon waxing and waning

Walk over me like hot coals, burning your feet, flames moving up and licking your body as I consume you
