Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Friction of sticks
rubbed from flicker to flame
Words between us
ready to combust.
Ignited tender
kindled with lust
fuels  affection
spawned from trust
of the heart
The spark
of illumination
in parts once dark
and out of sight
open now
loving the light

"Loving the light," is right, Lori. The sparks tend to be combustible, and I give it three cheers.

It is always nice to bring "things" out into the light for a better look..:-)
But sometimes it is nice just to grope around in the dark.

enjoyed
