Love Aflame Poem by RIC BASTASA

Love Aflame



i do not wish to give you
what i do not have

they are all lies and nothing
beautiful grows from the petals
of my empty words

i have only this heart
ablaze with fire

it is only this heat
this flame
that i can offer

there is no promise from its
firewood that this thing aflame shall last forever

take me as i am
and look at me with all understanding when at dawn
i turn to ash again
