i expected
her to run away
instead she
smiled and ran
toward me
and in her eyes
she wrote forever
in flashing embers
and i knew then
i would be consumed.

i ran to her
unconcerned as
the flames seared
my flesh and she
was burned into
my very soul.

ashen figures
burnt into the stones
in a fiercely defiant
act of sheer passion
unconcerned with
collateral damage
as she feeds my
all consuming desire.
