Nightlight

Love bursts forth,
Like rays of light,
A candle in darkness,
Piercing the night.

Surrounding my love,
The warm glow so soft,
Light like a bulb,
That never turns off.

Light of the night,
Flowing with hope,
Bright as sunlight,
Hitting the snow.

Reason for fighting,
To make it closer,
Fighting to get there,
Before it’s over.

Calling to me,
Spawning desire,
I give way and melt,
Like ice near a fire.

I melt and become,
Cool liquid flowing,
Attracted to light,
And other things glowing.

As cool water nears,
It turns into mist,
Becomes one with the light,
As the two co-exist.

Antithetical beings,
Bonded together,
To live as one,
With each other forever.
