A comment made by my sister about something related to "Zuko pairings" inspired me to write this poem.
Once again, you may take it as you will; Zuko + OC, Zuko + canon, Zuko + whomever.
Not sexual. Merely artsy.

The Whisper of Flame
The pain in your heart
Saddens me
To the greatest extent.
I can see it in your eyes...
How deeply
This, your past,
Has harmed you.
Let my soul
Cradle your own...
Let my hands
Hold you to me
Keep you warm
When your breath cannot...
The flame inside your soul
Flickers
But never wanes
And when it weakens
Let me help
To ease the pain.
Leave your control
In the endless abyss
Of the solitude
You so long
To retain.
Come to me, my Love...
Mingle your soul with my own;
Let our essence
Be one...
Of Fire, and Storm...
Of Light, and Darkness...
Of Peasant, and Prince...
Carry me away
For I know your fire
Resides in my heart;
And the wind carries
The scent of rain
To wash your fears
To cleanse your soul
And quench the smoldering ash
Of your heart.
