You had told me
All good spirit with no sins to take
And ignites their hearts for their loved ones
Would bloom up to a flower in their wake.
Your stern body and limbs
Embracing everything around your world
Had grown into rigid stems and branches
Looking tender, but never easily getting curled
At the last moment in the living inferno
You strolled with dignity into the crimson, stinging blazes
Your red-hot soul split apart into five
And bloomed into red petals, deeper than a beauty’s lips in glaze.
Then
You have fired up and formed with passion
Into a streak of flame, in a flake of igniting spark-shower
In front of me, kneeling down,
And right here waiting for you with an ash-white heart.
