quickening

the dancing flames
in your stained glass eyes
are mirrors of my soul

look at me
with unguarded abandon
show me who i really am

glowing embers ignite once again
evaporating at last the facade of me
revealing the hidden core beneath the surface

the fire in your eyes
becomes a fire in mine
as i surrrender to myself
