Fire

Missing image

Heat to warm the darkness in the soul,

flames that brings light into the heart's midnight

a torch that guides the mind to shimmering ore of dreams,

the burning that roasts the flaccid thoughts of cold indifference,

ever an inferno searing succinctly and intensely

with ablaze that lips breathe in scorching language

that melt the icicles formed on the spirit

by winters of hibernating hope.

 

Love is the match that strikes

kindling in life's forest,

it rages when set afire

over each of desire's trees.

Giving passion's glow to one's landscape

spreading to each thicket in thought,

until it turns into a furnace

giving fingers a sun's radiance in infatuation

for all the tinder in one's essence,

which so needs to be consumed.

 

Becoming the illumination

to seek another to walk in the shadows as eternal companion,

granting candles for every talent and ability.

 

Where one's very pulse flows in exhilaration's lava,

volcano of potential

erupts in a romance for every facet and feature

the eye thus beholds with valentine vision.
