Brave, gentle spark -
How I admire you.
You have given me much,
In hours of shadow.
A caress, a smile,
A peal of mischievous laughter,
It is enough to lighten my mood.
These enticing, glowing moments,
Are all around you.
An intoxicating aura, irresistible.
To shine like you do,
In the midst of tide and decay,
Is so rare and beautiful.
My sweet alchemy of love,
I will never forget you.
The world seethes and bubbles around you,
As time swirls around us all.
I grasp each golden ember while I can,
Feel the warmth of the fire.
It will remain lit,
Long after you leave me.
One day, then,
I will come and find you,
In the place where time has
No more meaning.
We will kiss, and entwine,
Pain will become and old forgotten dream.
