THE FIRE
I contemplate
the tongues of fire
in the hearth,
they remind me of you.
In the light of the bonfire
I see your moon face,
your starry eyes,
your planetary smile.
The flames,
bluish and pink,
intertwine
like our lives.
The fire crackles
with different sounds,
some brazen, others hushed,
these are our voices.
Our voices
that are
sometimes angry
are happy other times.
I feel the heat
of the fire,
it is your warmth
that gives me love.
This is the fire
that melted me into your life.
In the light of love
and eternal fire.
