ember
my darling you are dark and terrifying and beautiful
a tireless flame devouring all and moving —
wild, leaving nothing and taking everything.
but you are fire and will surely fade
when cupped gently by two hands closing
unafraid of being burnt.
so what will you do my dear, my darling
my ember heart? will you devastate and destroy and thrive
or will you be kept and tamed and die?
