Coal and Fire
Prompt: Rendezvous
I was coal
buried in the Earth’s bosom
raw, naked
unearthed
destined
to burn.
You were a flicker of light
with orange flames
playing with fireflies
in the dead of the night.
I was a forest
waiting to be devoured
kindled to ashes
and turn to smoke
in your power.
You were a spark
of desire
That made my nerves feel
like naked live wires.
I dreamt of Prometheus
a rendezvous was fated
and together
that night
we created fire.
