The Essense of Your Love

The enticing aroma fresh on the trail,
That turns and twists, navigating a treacherous forest.

The embodiment of all detectable warmth:
The fervent flame facilitating destruction and generation.

A hopeful beacon to trust without question
That manifests in sheer darkness.

The origin of magnetic attraction borne in my chest
Mirrored in the marrow of my own.

The alpha and the omega,
From now until my termination
And well into the new beyond.
