Love is a firebrand

It flares up fast, love at first sight
Surrounding you with light,
warmth

The flame, with its hypnotic dance
fills the cold air with sweet fragrance

Encircled by comforting glow
Yet, menaced by dark shadow,

You cling hard to it, for it's dark,
The rain can make it spit and spark

If it drops, it will extinguish.
Filling eyes with tears - Anguish!

Billowing clouds of acrid smoke,
strangling your breath, making you choke.

All that you saw, clear, in your mind,
is gone,  You had sight. Now you're blind.
