whispers linger as sparks ignite
allure takes flight in a hushed night.
flames kindled as uncertainty lies
secrets bind in searching eyes.
souls tremble in doubt
delicate balance on a fragile thread
passion's tempest whispers in refrain
where hearts may tread.
in shadows, emotions askew
embers flicker, entangled and unbound
revealing illusion's hue
secrets accrue.
