Scorched

Scorched 
You have me mesmerised, he said, 
I gaze fixedly upon your visage, helpless,
Even as the brilliance of your effuse, 
scorches my skin and blinds my eyes, 
And you just watch? 
unmoved, imperious, Goddess like ? 
Don't you see, she sighed,
Even as I long to hold you in close embrace,
This pedestal to which you'd me relegate,
Constraints me likewise?
If I were to step aside,
Scorched I'd be too,
And can only stay safe,
If I act Goddess like ?
