it’s very reasonable to call any temperature that is too high to sustain human life hot.
Dare I say, unbearably so.
Comment on OK.

I’m all for pedantry, but any human metaphor is clearly referring to a human perspective, and it’s very reasonable to call any temperature that is too high to sustain human life hot.

The silly thing is comparing the ‘temperature’ of one’s love to it. I mean I get poetic overstatement and I get his idea is to melt the heart of his woman of desire, however this is maybe a bit too literal.

You certainly don’t need 5700k to do that. Garden variety Summer is enough, every year.

That’s not a metaphor, it’s a comparison, which is when you state a difference between two things.

Saying that your love burns hot is a metaphor, because love does not burn.

Oh, good point.

What if love had a spicy burrito for lunch?

Then it remains a metaphorical burrito.

500 Kelvin is a hot oven that severely burns you if you touch the tray directly. 1000 K is a nice campfire. 1500 K is the upper end of Magma. 2500 K is beyond normal blast furnace temperatures.
5000 Kelvin is ridiculously hot.
