An Explosion of Elusive Love

Love is elusive...

An explosion lights a place forgotten by the light 
dim streaks filter in... 
uncovering a treasure long sunk in shadows 

The cold is dispatched as the air turns warm 
a single flower blooms... 
what a beautiful shade of red 

I step softly drawn to its crimson glow 
feeling of deja vu... 
the floor seems to tremble and I seem to fall 

Compelled to get up all I can do is stare 
a sick chill creeps in... 
the light gets brighter my eyes need to adjust 

Boom! another explosion... 
it all turns to dust
