SPARKS

2.26.2011

You have awakened the fires
of many desires
felt now burning inside
a previous dull glow had
sufficed after embers had been left to chill,
past sparks having fizzled, exploded, or pulverized
into a jaded, cautious burn

But you -
with your haunting melodies
charming edges
and heart-stirring stare
You invoke feverish wishes
to be surrounded in your
sonic soundscape,
to revel in your revelry!

I would like to drink in your scintillating flames,
flickering heat throughout formerly cold ashen locales of all my most private corners
