Flame of Love

• Love is a fire that burns unseen,
  A wound that aches yet isn't felt,
  An always discontent contentment,
  A pain that rages without hurting,
  A longing for nothing but to long,
  A loneliness in the midst of people,
  A never feeling pleased when pleased,
  A passion that gains when lost in thought.
• Sonnet, "Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver", line 1
