ON THE PASSION OF THE FIRE.

draft

Subtle silence softly stealing
O'er me with some mystic feeling
Sober virtue wheeling,reeling
Now seems fading softly shading
Into grey and yielding cinder
Leaving only tinder,tinder
Nothing else to stay or hinder
Soft desire
Only flames to lick and lead it into fire.
Paris '83
