you

you, the one that I desire
fuel, thrown on a white hot fire
burning, slowly higher and higher
erasing, all those that were here prior

you, a light that shines on me
a  sea, that flows upon my beach
into shadows, far in you reach
showing, all that we can be

you, the one that holds me close
hiding, things I want to know
flickering, brightly the candle glows
wax, forms thick, and pools below

you, ease my mind, sooth the pains
losing, ground with what I gain
sun, shining after the monsoon rain
you remain—you remain
