incandescent_osi

_' cinders '

incandescence
the word is soft on the senses
its meaning grows upon me
light born of a heated object
so i look at your being
losing myself in your thoughts
till i surface in your irises
a tear like liquid gasoline
dousing the cinders of sorrow
aglow with my agonies
your incandescence

    O that we all could be incandescent!
    It has to be special and surely takes two.
