I faced her then, my heart ablaze with interest,

Drawn to her shielded eyes, of a glimmering blast.

Hardly onto the farthest front, the exposure of her sight.

Her exquisite naked eyes, revealed to the light.

They sparkled, bright, the flashes burning my sight.

Proven, I was right, to have marvelled long before.

Glimpse, after glimpse, and I only knew a gaze.

Yet, the beholder, resents her remarkable blaze.

I drew her by the hand, to beg the question,

Swam in the daze, of her freckled cheeks,

Their rosy texture, exposed, her smile pasted,

As I made my words.

My conclusion, lighting her face.

A self-acknowledged patient, she finally became.

Oh those moments, when we were one in flames.

I reminisce now, waiting for the same arson.
