As if you were on fire from within.
The moon lives in the lining of your skin.

― Pablo Neruda

The glass between us
Fragile and thin.


You are a dark canvas
Lit by gold.

Whenever I despair
Of the written page
I remind myself—

Life chose me
For this passion,
This rage,

And there is more
Between us
Than a pane of glass...

Perhaps too civil
A passion,
Easily controlled,

Perhaps too feeble
A fire
And poetic rage,

So dramatic
This ardor…
More heat than flame.
