THOUGHTS OF YOU





Flicker of a candle
Burning in the night
Vision dances rhythmic
Desire flashes bright
Golden glowing oranges
Delights my mind
Glints pale blue
Shining abyss
Into this I sink
Beyond depth's warning
Preparing to burst
Open heart yearns to touch
Fire carelessly and rough
Must beware not to snuff
A light that burns so bright

While plunging down into depths
Cool blue pools pale in reflection
Water and fire
Body and soul
Deep I fall out of control
Grasping up towards the sun
Tendrils scatter across the water
Sinking in peaceful fright
Fire bright hair and water pale eyes
My soul wanders between
Dance with fire in water
Bubbles my heart and mind
Juxtaposed
Lost at home
Loving fear
Ignoring desire
Water and fire
Wash and burn
Clean

All I see
Is a flicker
Candle burning bright
But in my depths
Fire bubbles
Water ignites
Thoughts of you
Steam up inside
