Sometimes a flame burns so hot it consumes itself. <br />Just as breath gives life; so yours fuels my soul. <br />I would go to you with reckless abandon… <br />But stuck I am. <br />Contingent upon moments of treasured glimpses. <br />Staring into what would slake my soul. <br />Gazing into the eyes of the heart. <br />I beat with wild enchantment. <br />I yearn, but will contain this scorching burn. <br />Time unravels all mysteries. <br />Yet…I am unknown still. <br /> <br />Copyright 2009 a.j.
