A single heart but single flame contains,
Kindled there by love, when such love was true
And where naught lives but only thy domains --
A single flame a candle burning through
The solitary night; its glow untamed
By winds that sweep as agents of the dark
Into the chamber of the love proclaimed --
But no black art can ever leave its mark.
Oh passion, do burn bright! and ban all seeds
Of frosty doubt within these crimson walls -
For let my love be measured by the deeds
That stand my claim, and by the foe that falls:
But thou knowst, if my lips should bend to thine,
What exists would cease, then return divine.

CastleGuard,

This works rather well as a sonnet. Keep up the good work.
