A/N: Fanning the Flames is a companion piece to the Remus and Tonks romance Promise of a Spring Moon and the counterpart to the poem Playing with Fire.
-
Remus
gathered the
scattered embers
of my heart
and
held them
in his hand,
cupping gently.
-
The softest
of breaths
sent warmth
through dormant coals,
tempting
flame
to spark.
-
Tender kisses
re-ignited passion,
stimulating
the wild
spark
to catch fire.
-
Bright
flames leapt
from
mouth to mouth,
dancing
across skin
like fiery fingers.
-
Encouraged,
fire grew,
gathering
love and desire
to fuel
the blaze
-
Consumed
in refining
fire,
my heart was
reborn,
a Phoenix
from ashes.
-
With joy
unimagined
and tears of
healing,
I gave
everything
to Remus
in love.
