Spark (written in April 1999)
You stand there
so beautiful
so tall and dark.
You look at me
You’ve created a spark.
You’ve lit in me
a flame
and my passion’s ablaze.
I look at you,
No words
just a smile
or a soft, gentle wave.
Sure,
we may chat,
or, sit for a bit.
You’ve awakened in me
a yearning not weak.
I’ve wanted you
For much too long
Do you feel the same?
Or are you just being strong?
You are the spark
That fuels my fire.
Still no words
Just a burning desire.
Your nearness is warm
Yet my hands tremble so.
Quell this fire
Be my calm
In this mild inferno.
You drive me wild,
And I’m all aglow
I’m ever so happy
Until
you go.
