By the strike of a match

A fume
ignites my heart - turns to flames
and burns to the most beautiful of ash

What if you give the 'fume' a personal characteristic, after the one that ignited your heart? Just a thought. I agree that this a very intense and powerful for a few words. Thanks for sharing it!
