You & — I.

See Notes.

Your eyes were lit with the same spark as mine,

A conflagration that whispers of planes unseen,

Of hours unspent, upended as candelabra saved,

In locked cabinets to impress an empress: obliged,

A flicker that wavers, though unceasingly shines,

Conscripts, configures, confines our captives: captivated,

By a lim'rick, a lead-in, a line [refined and refitted],

Subjected, submitted to realms which are hidden,

Unhinted, there tinted as Nubian night,

All covetous light: centering, censuring, churning,

Brimming as Ἥλιος --‘raptured, unbound,

Unscathed and unburdened, beshimmered, beloid,

Imperiled, though never destroyed, resplendent,

In that limitless wake: conquering, quiet & coy.

Notes:

Ἥλιος (Helios) - Attic Greek | The markings before the eta are diacritical marks known as  breathings -- not quotation marks. Breathings were used in Ancient Greek to note pronunciation, the markings present note an acute smooth breathing.

Unhinted & Beshimmered: Not real words, just some bastardised versions of words. Wuddup Willy Shakes?

Coy - As in “quiet and reserved; shy.” -- rather than coquettish.
