- Love's Flame
- copyright ©2000 by Stephen Craig
I was drawn
into your world
as a moth to the flame.
As all I had been
was consumed.
I was left
with the essence
of what it is to be.
I reached up
to touch the moisture
glistening on your cheek,
and found that you
were as consumed
by the passion
of the moment
as was I.
So touch to touch,
heart to heart
and soul to soul,
I showed you my world
as you showed me yours.
Then as the moment ended
you cried out
in the echo of my cry.
And we were consumed
by the flame
to begin again.
