We shared a flame as quiet as aloneness.
Quietly burning together, no more.
Embracing you has become a quiet burn.
Even our spirits are silent as the shadows.
That soothing burn of love-making gone.
I tamed our flame before I chose solitude.
The silent candle flame we share is fragile.
Then one day, our flame was hushed.
Our flame became agitated
and burned what we had…
