the flames

We were a fireball of light.

A crackling whisper of wishes,

dancing among the stars,

floating freely through infinity,

with the promise of forever.

Yet, forever wasn't infinite

and we were torn apart.

A cosmic storm pulled me

from you and I still carry

the mark of your departure,

branded in the center of my chest.

We are now flames flickering,

sending light into the darkness

while whispering wishes of oneness

to the cosmos hoping they hear us.

My flame, when we meet again,

we will quiver, like candle wicks

freshly lit, rejoicing in the reunion

of two lovers lost, and then found.

We will reignite our ancient passions,

and reclaim our stolen forever.
