Kindled Fire

Some call me crazy,
Others insane,
Posing questions,
Wanting answers

Wondering why I wait this long,
All for a girl that may not even matter
They don’t see,
What I see

That glint in her eye as I stare,
Straight down to her soul
That tone in her voice,
As we talk all night long

They say I need to move on,
It’s been to long now,
The fire is dead
Reduced to ash

That fire, I say,
Is now a small ember
Waiting to be kindled
Into a blazing bonfire

The fire of desire
Is never completely put out
It lays dormant
Waiting for the moment to re-ignite

Maybe I am crazy,
And insane too
There’s only one cure
Of this I’m sure

"That fire, I say,
Is now a small ember
Waiting to be kindled
Into a blazing bonfire"
And that is why there are love poets writing
throughout all of recorded history!
