Wildfire

My soul is bewildered by his arrival.
The fire in him rages with the fire in me,
and our hearts quench our hunger.
Together we are a feast of two long-lost souls.

So I write my love in this paperfold
winged into a large white bird
that soars across a distance and into his chest.
Let my words fill him as he fills me.

What fire he’s lit cannot be undone in me.
I am lost within the wilderness
of his flames. So long as we are alive, we are
forged as one love song, one fire, and one light.
