Soaring Hearts and Burning Flames

If my heart could soar then on the wings of your words it would take flight, and with those words from the heart of you I would take comfort If only the light in your eyes shone through the dark that pervades your past, in time we two may find that light and feed it with our hearts, minds and souls so that it may flourish into a blinding beacon. In time that light may fade and with it the feeling felt in our hearts and yet the spark will forever struggle against the growing dark so that it may one day be re-fed. Refuelled. Shared with others so they may see the light I see in your eyes. But for now, let we two cherish that light I see in your eyes the fires that burn deep will burn and immolate our past pains, creating from the ashes a wholehearted future to be embraced with hearts and hands. That light will then banish the dark, defeat it and bring us to a new horizon in which there is only future, only the welcoming hopes of new life, new love.

Thank you for your repsonse! A bit of back story on this, I fell in love with a girl. And the urge to write something came across and so I wrote this for her. She liked it thankfully. We're not "together" though. Oh and this was the first poem I ever wrote.
