. . . . . . . did you know that i sit next to you now in the tiniest house of time?

the fire in you

how is the fire in you
the fire in me
at times when i least
expect it to be?

you lead
i follow
when your steam, your inferno
catches me…

in a moment i blaze…

and you know the truth
whether you
created your moment
for me or not
