Before I saw you,
I chose safe, shadowy
Corners for my home.
Unobserved, I lived
My silence.
Suddenly, you blazed
Into view,
And I knew
That you would be my All.
As I hurl my grey softness
Into the sweet agony
Of your fire,
I long for your glory
Mirrored in my thousand eyes.
One brief ecstasy that,
In an instant, dies.
