Fire Trilogy

In this flame that is love
in this love that is madness
in this madness is divine
I burn, and tear open my skin
to release the flame from within.

Even as I burn
I call to my beloved
to increase the heat
let only ash remain
to scatter at her feet.

In this madness of love
all that is known
is lost
in the churning of my island heart
the spinning of my mind,
equal share
of poison and nectar
produced and consumed,
existence becomes the finest
equipoise of joy and despair
weaving in cycles of flame
hope, reason, consumed,
by the finest balance
is life maintained.

In the growing twilight
my beloved reveals
her love in everything
each and every moment
and movement
as her perfection,
yet still illusion binds
for I know her
yet separate remain
and tears that I am not
my love
burns shadows in my face,
she enters and dances
each atom in me
she is the fire
she is the flame
she is completion
that words cannot name.
