When you came to my life <br />the eternal snow of my solitude <br />melted in my soul, <br />formed rivers to fecundate the life, <br /> <br />My love was a dormant volcano <br />crowned by the long cold of my nostalgia <br />it was the quiet night, it was the night without echo, <br />it was the same sadness cohabiting with the solitude. <br /> <br />Then you arrived and lit the fire, <br />you gave heat to my soul and flavor to my life <br />then you arrived and moved away the loneliness <br />and banished sadness. <br /> <br />your love is a volcano in eruption <br />my love was an extinguished volcano <br />but the lavas of your heart flooded my being <br />and lit my soul!<br /><br />ENRIQUE ALBERTO HURTADO MINOTTA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-lit-the-fire/
