The Fire is Set
                
        
He was a man of wax for many years
Sat chilled upon a shelf and gathered dust
But then there came adrift the shed of tears
From long away yet near on tortured gust

That somehow reached him deep to warm and melt
In fresh desire at which a valve was turned
Such touch had long been gone or never felt
And from the flow a pool of wax has burned

Where once was cold and spent the fire is set
With flames that leap and lick in measured time
It burns beyond their thoughts when first they met
And feeds on words and lines they write in rhyme

Though neither knew that one could come to this
They will embrace one day in tender bliss

Well, I thought it wasn't all that bad an attempt at the form, though I've rarely tried it.
Thanks for reading.
