Rodin's Kiss

Flaming Love

Text by Caroline Gardner
3 December, 2009

a match against a matchbox,

love is friendship caught on fire.

Do you ever get the feeling that this is something special?

the feeling that this is something new?

Do you ever get the feeling that this could last forever?

I always get that feeling with you.

the night falls,

my heart calls, for the touch

of your impatient hands.

your deep eyes

scar me like a tiger.

blue waves

rise and fall,

exhaust and understand me

like a grand piano

be the answer

to my question

work up a sweat

at night

friction fast

up against a wall.

burning,

I fall apart.

and when I was a little girl,

I wished on a night star

for this honest love.

He is the one that makes others look monochrome

compared to his colours of red.

You’d burn fire.
