burning love
like a high fever
everything in my body is burning
brain
eyes
face
lips
throat
stomach
heart
lungs
hands
legs
feet
even my hair
burning love
like a wildfire
everything in my life is burning
bed
house
mailbox
backyard
car
breakfast
lunch
dinner
past
present
future
even my dream

《燃烧的爱》
by CBA7（小西）
燃烧的爱
像高烧一样
我身体里的一切都在燃烧
大脑
眼睛
脸庞
嘴唇
喉咙
胃
心
肺
手
腿
脚
甚至我的头发
燃烧的爱
像野火一样
我生命中的一切都在燃烧
床铺
房子
邮箱
后院
车子
早餐
午餐
晚餐
过去
现在
未来
甚至我的梦想
后记：近日，和一位朋友聊天，获悉朋友得了重感冒，发高烧，烧了整整一夜，朋友感觉身体内的五脏六腑都在燃烧，感觉自己的生命在燃烧，这让我脑海里立刻闪现了 “burning love" 这个概念（我以前从来没有听说过 burning love 这个说法），我即兴发挥，一气呵成地写就了上面的英文小诗，然后译成了中文。随后，我联想到，以前会不会有人用 “burning love" 作为歌名？我就到网上去查了一下，结果还真有，是猫王1972年发行的摇滚歌曲！他的这首 “burning love” 成为他自1969年 “Suspicious Minds” 以来在美国最热门的单曲，也是他在美国百强单曲榜或流行榜上的最后一首热门单曲。我听了这首歌之后，觉得和我的同名诗歌很匹配，就把它放在下面作为BGM（背景音乐）。
真是无巧不成书，朋友的一次感冒发高烧，触发了我的这首情诗，竟然和50年前猫王的经典情歌同名，看来，我和猫王很有缘啊。
在感恩节到来之际，借这首诗《Burning Love》《燃烧的爱》，感恩那位感冒发高烧的朋友，感恩猫王，感恩网友们的厚爱，感恩过去、现在和未来。
Burning Love
Song by Elvis Presley
Songwriter: Dennis Linde
Lord Almighty
Feel my temperature rising
Higher, higher
It's burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine
'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love
It's coming closer
The flames are now licking my body
Won't you help me
Feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving
Lord, have mercy
Burning the hole where I lay
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
