Inferno


" Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones,
as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire"

Rochefoucauld

the flame burns
lighting up a whole continent
unbearable heat

yearning for you
is like a malignant inferno
crucial to extinguish it

  2. What decision to make, to hang on to the heat of an impossible passion or to dowse all hopes and live with regrets and emptiness.

  4. Passion drives one on even if it's hopeless.
