Prometheus

It burns.

Like a white-hot flame

From dying embers

Does new passion a-light

And destroy me from within.

What a beauty it is

To look at.

But if I should touch it

It would only hurt.

But I wish to dance in the flames

And feel the warmth envelope me

As we spin together

Faster, faster

Until we are both ash

So tantalizing

So elegant

So beautiful

So close . . .

And yet so far.

Come closer to me.

Please.

I beg of you.

Come closer

And let me dance

In your glory.
