I am fire, she says
And scorches my soul
She looks into my eyes
And the ice in my veins melts
I am fire, she says
And burns my existence
Her whispers are sparks
Her deep sighs, infernos
Her touch turns me to ash
And I fly away with the wind
I am fire, she says
Aatish, Naar, Aag, Nīrān
She says
And whips my heart
Cryonics
We could stay here
Frozen in time
with a single flake of snow,
That would refuse to melt
I would hear you sing
Rumi and Tabraiz
The rain would be music
Your almond eyes
would be candles
We could stay here
frozen in time
holding onto the
fingers of eternity,
I would lean over
Whisper in your ear
And night would never end
--
Nīrān - Arabic for "many fires"
