Written for the Carpe Diem Challenge # 59: write a Tan Renga.
Tan Renga is a two stanza poem with 5-7-5 and 7-7 syllables (5-7-5-7-7). Unlike a Tanka written by one poet, Tan Renga is written by two. Poet One writes the 5-7-5 and Poet Two completes 7-7.
Original Poet: Panchali of Peach Oleander

mystic purple flames
arise from the spirit’s stalks
chill my autumn heart
essence of my soul bares warmth
Divine Love blankets me
