ruler of flames, <br />welcome me to your blaze, <br />caress me with your searing hands <br />warm my frozen being <br />dear God, I am glacial <br />winter has engaged my soul <br /> <br />I call for you to deliver <br />melt my ice until it drips <br />and a rivulet of desire springs <br />with your forged iron, <br />fill me with liquid fire <br />then carry me to your altar, <br />where I will offer you <br />tranquility, now thawed<br /><br />Eila Mahima Jaipaul<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hephaestus/
