The Night Memories Poem by Afzal Shauq

I've been thinking
there is no other
Throughout this world
that burns with desire
as I do.

Then I notice
They are coming
Sister's of fire
Now burn round me
each a flame

Now I'm alive
These flames of beauty
with burning coals
of sweet desire's fire
searing me.

and now I am ashes
floating in the wind
sweet memories
Jane...Christy...Tina
my past flames.
