Passionately penned, Willow. Excellent write my friend, this had a little R&B sass to it. Dig it. Nice arrangement with the rhythm section driving the vehicle as an accompaniment to these bars you’re slinging. It’s Fire!! Appreciate you.

Interesting you use the word sass…my nickname as a child was Sassy. Guess it never faded. Thank you, my friend 😊

WHOA!!! Willow, this is 100% passionate, sensual… sexy!!
Love this line: “fire infused and filled with intention”. I swear, as I read this line, I could feel Heat spreading out from the computer screen and melted my keyboard. WTH, now I have bandaged fingertips…😎 now where did I put that fire extinguisher??!! Loved the music and singing.. I give it 100 snaps, 10 Hell Yeses, and sway the hips danceable!Curt

Well damn! That’s a lot! Much appreciated! I don’t have a fire extinguisher but Volupta routinely had me hitting the cold shower with her erotica. So I get it! Thank you, Curt 😊

I read this without the music, then listened to it. Both ways show the heat you were trying to convey. I love the part where you say he loves your mind. It’s a potent thing.

According to him, my body is banging but without my mind, it’s just anatomy. He never leaves me questioning my value in the space of us. Thank you, Fia 😊

Read More“I’m dead inside,” you say. Like a graveyard at midnight. No mourners here to trod untrodden paths by your headstone. Soulless and moonlit, an empty body, a starless night sky. Heretic prayers, unheard, fall on silent winds. I call your name, wordless in my incantation. I yearn to feel you breathe inside me. Take this lifeless carcass and...
