Love Poem: Fire Burns

Written by: Phyllis Babcock

Fire Burns

A tear cascades
clear, crystalline drops
slowly trickles down the cheek
~~~dreams~~~ 

in the moment they touched
unforgettable sparks
in regions of the heart
~~~fusion ~~~

a burning flame
didn't know where to start
gone straight to the heart
~~~desire~~~

 keeping eyes on the sun
hidden smile under shallow waters 
salty taste of tears
~~~drowning~~~

can't hold onto fears
dry those crystalline tears
fire consumes
~~~flame~~~
