this ember

this ember
i will keep until
the sun eats
the earth,
me

and you.

this ember
i will embrace
the warmth
though it burns
my heart,

my hands, and my body.

this ember
the flames will burn
even after
the31st
trust

me.

this ember
will keep
nursing the
heat
of

our passion.

this ember
with your hands
is pleasure
fire alive
without it

it crumbles

this ember
will turn
to ashes
and
unite

with the universe.
