A Flame Once Burned

The Flame Burnt Hot. The air was thin, standing looking out of the small window Flying to Tunisia through a cloud level that was low Stretching my legs and peering down the fuselage From the flight deck, appeared the man who was definitely in charge. His dark good looks struck me, they hit me like a blow He came and stood in front of me and then he said “Hello.” Dark limpid brown eyes, dressed in a uniform so smart If we had been there longer, he may have stolen my beating heart. Holding in his hand, a bar of dark chocolate Broke a piece off it, and asked me if I’d like to partake. Not being a fan of chocolate, but I am a fan of a uniform so grand I let him feed it to me out of his large, strong, tanned hand. The flame was burning bright as we looked deep into each others eyes When my husband tapped him on the shoulder much to our surprise The pilot turned and offered him a piece of chocolate too I think you may guess the answer, and what he told him then to do. The flame that burned oh so hot, was snuffed in just a second A warning to all those girls, for whom a uniform may beckon When a tall dark pilot offers to feed you from his hand Make sure there’s no one around round so that flame can then be fanned… © 27/11/2012~GG~ Based very loosely on a true story lol
