A Love Poem Sat, 13 Mar 1999, 00:00 EST

A flame burns deep within my heart,
quiet, subtle
twinkling as gentle candlelight, yet

It Illuminates.

Moving closer, its warmth bathes my fingers
its light flickers over my face
my eyes focus upon its centre

It envelopes me.

Taking me in, mesmerized 
As I stare intently, the flame seems to grow
building, until

I am the fire.

I feel its warmth, its strength,
its passion.
for they are mine.
