The Fire

Shhhhhh
Keep it quiet.
No one must know,
that
I am
in love.

with a cruel
hard
beautiful
mystery-ridden
Bitch.

Every step of the way,
as I look a bit deeper
into her wide
open eyes,
in that vast void,
I feel myself
slipping
deeper
and deeper
into my own soul.

It scares me
how far it goes.
it scares me
how far I must go.
it scares me to glimpse
just how grand
we can all be-
how grand we
MUST
Be.

But I am ready now.

I am ready
to dance with you.

So Madame,
You wicked wonderful
wild woman,

Let’s Play.
