The Flame

Poem Artwork

 

The flame I vanquished
to the corner of my mind
Down To the very depth 
of my weary lovesick soul
It will not stay tamed 

Once awakened it burns 
Not quietly, nor meek 
But
With a thunderous roar
from blackest night
to clearest day
Back and forth it sway 

And the words stamped onto my heart
Over and over they cross my lips
Whisper quietly into the room
But screaming within 
Until my lungs and my heart ache:
I love you, I love you, I love you
