Foretelling flames
sparked the rubble
that’s when both of them knew
they were in loads of trouble

Pixie dust specks
and spatters of desire
flared each flicker
destined never to expire

And although the world
tried to keep them apart
divine interventions
sealed their fate from the start

Who would’ve thought
a little dust and heat
could make someone’s lives
so full and complete
