Ring of Fire

If I put my head deliberately into the fire, there is no appeal to fire or to the maker of fire, and I have only myself to blame. - Thoreau

I ran my hands over her unvarnished, eucalyptus skin.

Oblivious to passion's poignant sin.

Caressing breathless ecstasy.

Indulging utopian fantasy.

Two celestial bodies on a collision course.

With an interplanetary Saturn force.

Things grew increasingly dire.

As I fell into conjugation's burning ...

... ring of fire ...

Author's Note

"Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?" - Thoreau

Sorry, Pete. I'm a bit confused. What's the message? Is it the author's note or something else?
