Spark's Birth and Fire's End
Getting
out of her car
she stepped outside
and smiled,
his every wall fell
every hope rose
she was like
a thornless rose
an innocent embrace
nervous jitters
searching for a way
to break the ice
as they were meeting
for the first time
~~~
Driving
down the road
feeling beside himself
with his passenger
sitting beside him
conversation ensued
sparks were flying
smiles widening
eyes sparkling
forcing himself
to watch the road
for his gaze
was drawn
magnetically
to the brilliance
the radiance
of her eyes
her face
~~~
Sitting
across from her
at a dimly lit table
trying to play it cool
but simply unable
trying to pretend
he wasn’t already
lost in her
wanting her
craving her
body and mind
~~~
Grazing
lips created
a scene
from a dream
and everything
fell into place
romance’s currents
flowed throughout
their hearts beat
in elevated unison
like never before
in either’s lifetime
~~~
Playing
in the living room
transitioned to
pleasures
in the bedroom
they melted together
like scented candles
in desire’s fire
his back, a canvas
her nails brushing
welcoming wounds
the artistry
of ecstasy
released in full
consuming the sheets
igniting the room
love’s first spark
born all too soon
~~~
Laying
Breathless
In stillness
Fingers
Gliding
Over skin
So Sensitive
Gazing
In loving
Timeless
Moments
Long gone
Passing
Memories
Of spark’s birth
And fire’s end
~~~
