B) The poem beautifully expresses the longing to lose oneself in love, much like a candle's flame merging with the daylight or a snowflake dissolving in the vastness of the sea

A) the poetess's quest for a more passionate and sublime love—one that transcends the boundaries of self and identity. Unlike possessive or restrictive love, the poetess desires a love that is based on fusion and dissolution.

Has such a nice rhythm and rhyme...and then you hit that final word. Haha. I hate when poets use similarly spelled words and think it's a substitute for similar-sounding words.

A beautiful expression of love: 'Long to be lost as a light is lost in light'. Every line is superbly written. The last stanza is an intense sum up: Oh plunge me deep in love- put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind.
