About The Flames


Couple

i always write of us in flames
dancing burning touching
always in terms of heat

i've never called you water
referred to a cool caress
flowing over my body

it's never been about ice
or snow wind flowers
blooming pure blustery pristine
never cold
never too sweet

it's always been flames
flames that burn me
warm me
touch me blazing with brilliance
dancing flames
dancing away from the flames
drawing too near the flames
frightened yet fascinated
by those dancing flames
i'm finally learning to touch
