Aflame

I looked blankly around at the smoke detector

Sitting silently amid the conflagration

The golden red flames licked and arced across the planes and hollows

New flames burst forth in dancing delight

Smoke curled around my toes and rose thickly

To dizzying heights

I was enveloped in blinding radiant heat

I heard a fire alarm, finally

Jangling discordantly

Within my heart

Which was aflame

From your kiss.

Magnificently penned.
Who can help himself if a mystical experience overpowers an individual.
Thank you for sharing this gem with us.
