Icy Hot

Your touch sends shivers through me
Yet I don't know if it's from the ghostly chill
Still I can't help but notice my skin flush
As I feel your icy touch starting to thrill.

I lay in your cool embrace as my breath quickens
The sensations send goose bumps across my flesh
Making me burn for your continued attention
As you make love to me, my temperature rises.

That icy hot attention burns through my soul
Carrying me to heights untold and depth so bold
Yet together bring me to the brink of ecstasy
Looking into the abyss, I gladly leap into the unknown.

Slowly, my breathing quiets, as you surround me.
My over heated flesh is cooled by your touch
I know you're with me and hold me so dear
Yet that icy touch, burns a new trail into my soul

I love you above all others, never wanting another
But the cold reaches deep into my shattered soul
I can't believe that I could be burned like this
Yet seeking the warmth of another, never takes the chill away.
"I wrote this because of a friend?s story.  Crystal tried to show the chilling touch of a ghostly Xena
and how it affected Gabrielle."
