Eternal Flame of Love

An image laid before

Created by the light

Void of substance; hollow

Dark as ebon; night

The shadow of my being

A silhouette; my form

Body and its tracings

Absent; spirit, soul

The all within my vessel;

Ephemeral, my frame

Perished, poured, immortal

Eternal, burns love’s flame
