Old flame

Alan R

Today I woke up to a fire

Flames, that kept rising unseen

Unseen, until I was warm enough

Unseen, until it was bright enough

Enough once again, I was sure, I was keen

Enough once again, as you’ve always been

But to put this off, is my duty once again

To just look away, extinguish, let this be

As your eyes puzzle me with that shade of green

And I knew I could be happier than I’ve ever been.

 

-Al

    A most sensuous poem that grows stronger with each line. This passion grows to desire toward the end. Very romantic
