I’ve always loved the scent of gasoline
A tinge of burning
Crawling up me
I crave it when you’re gone
I’ve always loved the smell of your cologne
Wrapped up woods and sweat
I crave it when you’re gone
The ticking grows louder
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Fire in my core
You are the bomb
At the center of my life
And I’m searching for a match
I’ve always craved fire, flames
Licking my feet
And loving the taste
The promise of you alights me
A blaze within my stomach
I’ve always craved the flames
The spritely dance
All else is fodder
The promise of you burns me up
The seconds tick faster
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Flares before my eyes
You are the bomb
At the center of my life
And I’m searching for a match

Cabin Fever Because of Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain That Turned to Icy Roads
What Is Cabin Fever? The short answer is that cabin fever is restlessness from being in a confined area. Cabin fever is the distressing irritability or restlessness experienced when a person or group is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time. Research shows that prolonged cold, gray skies, and being stuck indoors can trigger mood shifts similar to “winter blues.”
