"The First Flame"
by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD
I
You were a flame
The first one I consumed
Up in that cold place
You were my first
II
Enticing were you
Those hands nimble and true
Among the drunken
We danced our secret dance
III
Lips touching
Hands clasping
Unknown in the darkness
A union was harnessed
IV
You were a flame
brilliant and vibrant
While you were there
Until you were not.
V
I still remember
those times in the cold place
Your lips against mine
The first flame.
