Ignite

Night rapt me here in swaddle calm
Darkness fell, as chiffon psalm
Within thrust forth to pour the spill
The words came out of waters still

Trade to and fro emotions fire
To be the spark of your desire
Yet this intent so far removed
From all that love to light has proved

For now the dawn is suspect true
Alight in softly lacquered hue
Within myself the rhyme set free
Then letting blaze eternally

A focused spark confides beneath
The tinder struck divine bequeath
My heart to yours reveals acclaim
Alight avows unending flame

Then letting blaze eternally

the rhyme set free
indeed.....as always
this is a diamond

TD = soft

One would think
that a diamond
would show its
sharper points...

but not you.

Always, fragile.

Wonderful.
