Desire by tfawcus

He stirred the fire.
In turn, the fire stirred him.
At first, when warm, it did no harm,
but then it grew, as does desire.
Each hot flame licked what he mistook
for sighs. Those flames are lies,
which craftily transmute his chosen truth,
with lust consuming all he thought.
The fire subsides to ash and dust.
